I would say the LPGA is in trouble.
It’s all about the ratings generated, the sponsors willing to fund the purse, the Television Contract and advertising revenue. If there was the same interest in the LPGA as the PGA, the payday would be the same. The LPGA is not in trouble, it just operates at a different level of interest and $$$. The financial playing field could become somewhat leveled out going forward as the cash cow of the PGA (Tiger) future is in serious doubt.
