Why Doesn’t LPGA Get More Respect?

Fred Altvater and Carlos Torres check-in on the world of golf to bring you the latest news, insights, analysis, recaps, previews and interviews.

On The Weekend Backspin, they talk about Adam Scott being supernova hot, scoring his second consecutive win in as many weeks, taking the WGC Cadillac Championship, on the LPGA Tour, Ha Nah Jang cruised to victory at the HSBC Women’s Champions in Singapore; and Juli Inskter won the Walgreens Charity Classic on the Legends Tour.

The Par-5 News presented by United Golf Network, has the latest on the strategic alliance announcement between the LPGA and PGA Tours; there was a Tiger Woods sighting and he looked good; Taylor Made and Adidas are making Golf Business headlines; Paul Casey is not happy about not being eligible for the Ryder Cup; and Donald Trump made an appearance at Doral.

On The Practice Range, why the LPGA doesn’t get the same recognition as the PGA Tour? The LPGA’s young stars’ accomplishments, rival those of the PGA Tour’s young superstars, they have an International schedule whereas the PGA Tour is mainly US-based; and their team competitions are almost as fiercely competed.

On the VIG (Very Important Guest) Of the Week section, the long-awaited second part of the Carol Mann interview.
