LPGA Off Season

[Hot Rod 71]

Someone horked Danielle Kang's car and clubs. Car was found, the clubs, not so much.

 

Man, that sucks.

[Raving Shanker]

Hee Young Park got married a few weeks ago.

 

Cool. But could someone name all those guests? I recognise an Inbee for one, and some almost ID's elsewhere. I suspect there is a bit of golf talent in that photo!

[scottc25]

Looks like theye found everything now. From her Insta...

  Clubs were randomly thrown in the streets and were recovered thanks to the people that picked them up and returned it! Some definitely need to be looked at but I’m glad no one was hurt. Also very thankful for the Las Vegas police department for being so prompt as well. Car was found too. All of the material stuff can be fixed so no worries there. Everyone just stay healthy and have a happy new year ♥️

'Not sure about the young woman in the upper left (could be KLPGAer Da Yeon Lee or So Young Lee), but next to her left to right is So Yeon Ryu, Jennifer Song, Danielle Kang, and Jiyai Shin. The front is Minjee Lee, Hee Young Park, Haru Nomura, and Inbee Park.

Good thing she didn`t find the culprit, she tends to run a bit hot sometimes.

Lol I was thinking the same thing, and really from her response I'm very happy for her, she seems to be taking this a lot better than I would have.

[Argonne69]

I'm guessing she's taking it a bit easier because it's the off-season. Had the clubs been stolen on the way to a tournament, she'd likely be in orbit.

New caddie for Ariya.

Anyone seen a 2019 Priority List?

[sheppy335]

Man the ladies change caddies like some people change cars. Lol

[Argonne69]

Man the ladies change caddies like some people change cars. Lol

 

Lol. But yet there's a 7 page thread in the Tour section discussing Zach's caddie change.

[legitimategolf]

Man the ladies change caddies like some people change cars. Lol

 

They are so emotional and impulsive aren't they. Women that is.

[Seamus_McDuff]

They finally posted the priority list

During my hours of watching Japan LPGA replays I've been surprised at the number of non-Japanese caddies on that tour,seems like the upper echelon players have full caddie 'business',yardages,lining-up,green-reading and others have what appear to be the regular course caddies (female) wheeling the clubs on a trolley.

 

I've become a fan of Ai Suzuki who I thought initially was a bit of a Moody-Judy but she's always ready to have a laugh and smile,also a dab hand with the putter.

'Love Golf' is one of the channels I've watched,the others have titles in katakana or hiragana script which I can't read!

Surely, Lindsey Weaver in Category 4 is a mistake?

We know she wasn’t a winner but I think with the medical/maternity exemptions they have to slot them as closely as possible to where they were on last year’s list.

 

Here is last year’s list.

Weaver was 90 and is now 91.

 

Some other examples

 

Piller 34 —> 35

Pettersen 37 —> 38

NYC 82 —> 83

Mozo 138 —> 138

'Congrats to Charley Hull for winning the LET Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open in Abu Dhabi, the first women's professional event in the UAE. Charley led wire to wire for a one shot win, shooting 8 under in the three round tournament.

[scottc25]

Lol that first place in that thing was $38k.

[Hawkeye77]

So she made a profit then.

Was that an engagement ring she was wearing holding the trophy?

She does have a boyfriend, but that doesn't look like a typical engagement ring. I'm sure social media would be in a buzz if she got engaged.

The article on Golf Channel said she got engaged at Christmas, and that her fiancé was at the tournament with her.

More like €38K so like $43,000 US. Smaller tour, smaller purses who cares? No one says similar things when the men win on the Euro Tour and cash a $600,000 check or when someone wins an opposite field event.

This is incorrect as the LET played the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters for years and was won by LPGA players like Lexi Thompson, IK Kim and Shanshan Feng.

'Nice catch. Can't believe I let that one slip by. The press release probably should have said the first professional event in Abu Dhabi.

Interesting comments from Mike Whan on the gap between LPGA pursues and PGA purses. He noted that 4x the viewers is going to bring 4x the revenue. He also said that it isn't the sponsors' job to drive up purses. It's his job and the LPGA Tour's job.

Mike Whan is a very smart man and anyone who thinks he isn't doing a good job isn't paying attention.

Imagine that, a guy with an extensive and successful business background actually understands how businesses (and the free market) work.

Imo he saved the lpga tour

Randall Mell reports that the LPGA is looking at adding shot tracking technology to the tour similar to ShotLink. That would be awesome. With the possibility of legalized sports betting on the horizon, having the ability to track every shot would help feed the betting machine.
