LPGA Hall of Famer has 31 wins, 7 majors, but no sponsor.The article by Beth Ann Nichols makes it seem that it's ridiculous that someone with her resume doesn't have any sponsors. But at the end of the article, Inkster says, "It bothers me a lot, but I'm not going to settle." So it's not that no company wants to sponsor her, it's that no company wants to pay her what she thinks she's worth. Big difference. EDIT: I tweeted Beth Ann Nichols and she responded that Inkster would not use a company's staff bag for free, although some players do, even though they're not paid staff.

She didn't help her cause by playing only ten times last year and passed on playing the 2018 Pure Silk. Sponsors want visibility for their products. The fact that she does a lot of Fox Sports broadcasting and is now Captain-For-Life in the Solheim Cup does very little for a potential sponsor. I assume she's still good (71.74 avg. last year), but let's face it, she can't win anymore."I am Coates Golf"...until Mollie burns up all of her old man's money: vimeo.com/161513481 |

Inkster is a Hall of Famer but is probably about ten years past her prime. I like Juli, but there isn't much precedent for women golfers in their fifties, even great ones, to carry a lot of sponsorships.

Let's face it...if Juli looked like 50 something Ming Na Wen, etc...she'd have a lot more sponsorship opportunities.
Looks matter...whether it be hired for a job, finding a soulmate, etc, etc.
Juli and Dame Laura must hate staying at home.

Juli and Dame Laura must hate staying at home. Laura has a home? I thought she lived out of a suitcase, hitting every tournament she can. She can't win anymore in the major leagues, but she's never lacking in logos because she knows her value. Meanwhile, Juli says, "I won't settle" .... she must be reading from the Bivens economic handbook.   I was surprised she threw her agent under the bus in the article. The 2008 version of the LPGA "loser" bag. I can't remember what other players had these.  |

I was surprised she threw her agent under the bus in the article. You shouldn't be surprised....I finally read the article ********************************************************************************************** For the record, Inkster does have agent. (“She must not be very good,” Inkster said.)************************************************************************************** How classless of Inkster...no wonder you DON"T HAVE ANY SPONSORS....it's time for you to just go away. Juli's agent is Alissa Super of the Wasserman Media group.....Alissa doesn't seem to have any issues finding many endorsements for the well liked and marketable Azahara Munoz...since Aza's 2010 rookie year....I believe Alissa has been the agent of other LPGA pros too....I got to assume Juli's comments have cycled their way back to Alissa. ************************************************************************************* “It’s not like I’m not in the limelight, “ she said. “It’s not like I don’t get on TV. It’s not like I’m bad at pro-ams or speeches.” ************************************************************************************************** Juli obviously has no clue what moves the needle to attract endorsements. Juli WAKE UP and take OWNERSHIP of your career because no one else will and quit blaming others. You should be having weekly or bi-weekly 1:1 meetings with Alissa to understand the progress, inspect Alissa's sponsorship funnel for you and determine next steps to be completed before the next meeting(s)...and if you're not happy...... then fire Alissa vs. MOUTHING OFF to the media how lousy Alissa is. |

The 2008 version of the LPGA "loser" bag. I can't remember what other players had these. LMAO Here's another one who was not very bright...MOUTHING off on Twitter when her Wilson sponsorship was not renewed....Hello McFly...you honestly did not have any clue your ROI was low with Wilson...really. I was shocked when Cally picked her up...what would stop Stupples from MOUTHING OFF again when Cally's dumped her. Obviously she has never heard..."Don't burn your bridges". Get over it and more on...like a professional. Does anyone know why Stupples use to have thick lower legs and has now rid herself of them? |
