Denied Equal Treatment As Scottie Scheffler & Co, LPGA Legend Faced a ‘Moldy’ Nightmare While Representing USA
The primary difference between the LPGA Tour and the PGA Tour is the gender that represents the same sport, that is golf. The difference can be seen even in multiple instances at the professional level. Be it the viewership or the popularity of the professional. Even the prize pot has a huge differentiation if compared.
In 2024, 34 players earned over $1 million in the LPGA Tour, while on the other hand, 137 golfers made over $1 million in the PGA Tour, as per the data shared by Perfect Putt. Now to give an in-depth insight on the difference, a former LPGA professional has voiced out about an incident. Michelle Wie West, a five-time LPGA Tour winner, explained that constant injuries and motherhood forced her retirement.
Even the discussion got stretched a step further at the Quiet Please podcast, where she shared firsthand experience of the LPGA vs PGA Tour disparity. When both LPGA professionals, Reid and West, discuss their start of friendship. West started to laugh and said that she got a memory revival from the 2011 Solheim Cup. She said, “I just remember it is all coming back now as unlike the PGA Tour we have to pack our own stuff.”
Agreeingly, Reid also nodded and followed her story. Continuing to discuss packing, she revealed that the golfers received huge boxes to pack their belongings. Further, she explained the scene where, due to procrastination, she ended up packing in the last moments. Even pointed out that, the team US got a pack of Knives, while the team Europe got a Xbox. In a hurry, she dumped all her stuff in the back and shared how it became a terrible mistake.
The 35-year-old further shared, about the delay in receiving the package, “Because we are not the PGA tour.” She added further, “Our boxes came like two months after arriving from Ireland. I remember opening this box in like hot Florida and had moldy rain gear, knives sticking out of the box.” The disparity of the league left the panel, sympathizing with her for the incident. The disparity between the leagues remains visible, even two decades after the event.
However, now the LPGA Tour professional and the team are working together to market the league better than per the ex-commissioner.
LPGA Tour on a pathway to ameliorate future
For Stay Lewis and most of the golf world, the top players hold the responsibility to improve the golf league. As Lewis said during the Chevron Championship, “I think Nelly does have a responsibility… It’s saying yes. Continuing to play great golf, though, is number 1. That’s what helps out tour the most… She also, I would say, to do as much extra stuff as you can for us.” Well, Nelly Korda has been doing the best for the league with her great performance, as she recorded 7 victories similar to Scottie Scheffler in 2024. Even promotes the league through her social media.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
