They do nothing to support golf in the USA. Do nothing to support the USGA in the US. They come and take the money, mumble a couple of words of English (in many cases) and go home with their millions, until they come back next year for a week. It's the US Women's Open, not the "World Women's Open".

Rubbish. Both mens and ladies golf tours are international, open to all who can qualify.
Our own Opens, male and female, are dominated by non-UK golfers, who take most of the prize money home with them. Best player wins.
As for "mumbling a few words in English" the majority can speak either fluently, or passable English.
How's your Korean, Cantonese or Norwegian?
Now, if you want a real closed shop, how about the World Baseball Series.
Oxymoron if there ever was one.
