Or raise to 2M and put it at the beginning of the season before the Australian Open. Then they can play NZ, Australia, Thailand. Agree...front ending it the the 1st Asia swing makes more sense. The Japanese need to make the Toto event more prestigious with a huge purse. The Japanese love women's golf as demonstrated by the attendance of JLPGA events....make the purse $2.5+M .....invite Sexy Queen, Smile Candy, SKY and Ji Ya Shin and the Toto would be the premier event of the Asia swing....then the Koreans might up the purse of the Hana to compete for TOP DOG.

Cool that Steve Williams got involved with the event.
DK is right place, right time for the LPGA. Has she been cart cruising with Amy yet?

Danielle is charismatic, talented and American, which should make her perfect for the LPGA brass.
On the other hand, she still is fairly inconsistent. I suspect she has a little of that American work ethic, alas. She has enough talent to still occasionally shine, but if she wants to get beyond where she is now, she needs to buckle down a bit.
(Inconsistent she may be, but she is still 100x better than Cheyenne Woods, say. I think she has more than proved she belongs as one of the LPGA's go-to marketing figures).

It takes a lot to be the "It" person. Like Tiger for PGA, over the years, Michelle Wie has been LPGA's only It girl. Paula Creamer and Natalie Gulbis had their days; but have never reached the same height.

All four rounds tape delayed. GC is currently showing live streaming on Wednesday and Thursday at 9pm ET and Friday and Saturday at 8pm ET.
I'm assuming these are the Aussie announcers, so we can look forward to all the putts being "long range" or "a leetle shy."

Danielle and Brooke are the only "stars" other than Lydia.
Kang and Ko are besties, but did Lydia have to promise a celebrity caddie to get Danielle to show up?
We all know why Daddy's Little Paycheck is there.

LMAO 22%...that's not even close to 37% (likely the Brooke Henderson Open in Portland???). It would like be 15% if Dave Henderson didn't FORCE Brooke to play EVERY LPGA event. Even Minjee (Sura's BFF) is a no-show and giving Tina the one finger salute. Tina is gonna be embarrassed after this week and sued by McKayson for FRAUD. I suspect Tina is gonna sign a Yani like deal with the Koreans next week......the Chinese offered Yani $25M, a large house and access to a private jet to change her citizenship to Chinese.

They need to have a two person team event to make DK choose between Wie and Ko. Get your popcorn ready.

The LPGA website shows 129 entries and three alternates (who need to start thinking about their futures).
They added a couple of ams I've heard of before, Ayean Cho and Yifan Ji.
JLPGA pros who did not qualify for the JWO would have been a quality add to this field...but it is the NEW ZEALAND Open, so it looks like they loaded up with locals.

OK...someone's full of sh*t and I'm guessing it's the DRAMA QUEEN. In the previous articles posted by Phil...in the 2nd article....Stevie says it was a coaching connection that brought Kang's bag to him. But in the above vid...Kang is squirming when asked how Stevie is looping for her. DK says it was someone from IMG...she asks IMG for everything and says IMG is her agent.....I don't think IMG has ever rep'd for Kang....didn't Kang originally sign with Excel Sports Mgmt (Mark Steinberg/Andrew Kipper)....now the LPGA contact list has Hambric as her agent...and the REAL DUMBO is a Hambric client too....hmmmm....Gretzky a common theme? ?? At the 2012 CN CWO I bumped into Grace Lee and started chatting...she asked if I ever met Lizette who Grace said was Danielle's BFF....I said no...so Grace brings me over to intro Salas to me. Hmmmm.....ya never hear or see Salas in any social media selfies with Kang and Salas as of late....I guess a chubby Mexican is not cool enough for Kang anymore. And what about all the DRAMA with Kang and Pepperdine. It also wouldn't surprise me if Danielle was mouthing off in the Palm Springs restaurant and then all the DRAMA started.
