Every sport needs a Maria Sharapova. The LPGA should start a mentoring program for attractive eastern European and Brazilian women. I would love the LPGA even more if they had players that were as attractive as Adrianna Lima or Gisele Bundchen.
Gulbis is overrated. It's easy to look attractive next to a bunch of fatties. Nice body.... horrible voice..... ok face.

I'm an Annika fan. She's a machine. I think that she has the best swing in all of golfdom. As an Annika fan, I feared Ochoa because she always looked like she was ready to explode at any moment, and grab the game of golf by the ___. LO-CHO has always had the demeanor of a champion. Annika vs Ochoa? It's a toss up. Annika at her best is a female Faldo. Ochoa is more creative, and has more shots. I would love to see a two day match between the two. Ochoa's more fun to watch because she allows her emotions to fly. At this moment, Annika has to feel like a second rate Phil Mickelson: second best yet eons away from being the best.

"Thirty years ago, being pretty or sexy was resented, as though it made you something less as an athlete. The attitudes are even more Victorian today. My scorecard was and is blind to the fact I was blonde and wore lipstick. Various parties on the LPGA Tour knew it, however, and didn't like it. It's everyone's loss"..."I found that I played just as well wearing lipstick as I did without it. There's no downside to trying to look as attractive as you can.."

The LPGA has/had sizzlers with sex appeal, at least going back to Laura Baugh's days. Before Laura, I dunno who handled that. Don't agree with Laura's assessment of today's Victoian standards. IMO, LPGA knows the importance of having women looking like women.
Today, Natalie carries the torch although there are some other pretty nice looking women on tour. Natalie may or may not be hot, but the proof is in the pudding. I don't think there's anyone who comes romotely close to her sexual appeal as evidenced by her endorsements, television show, calendars, and camera time she receives even when she's not in the hunt.
The argument of distance is no doubt a huge advantage to men. Add in pin placement, putting surface with its undulations and speed, the rough a little rougher,,,basically, course conditions are tougher as mentioned by others. Instead of dropping the women back to the men's tees, bring the men into women's elements. We may see a more competitive situation.
On the men's tour, the hottie is not Adam Scott nor the Camillo. It is judged quite differently. Honors go to...

Laura Baugh's article was shockingly interesting.

Gulbis shouldn't be mentioned along with Giselle.
Adriana Lima hotter than anyone mentioned above.

I'm with you. I watch the men's majors and a few other big tournaments, but I never miss an LPGA telecast. The last thing I want to see is the ladies shooting upper 70's from 7400 yards. They can't compete with the men, but so what?
The women seem to enjoy what they're doing, smiling, chatting with each other, having a good time on the course. I can't remember seeing a women toss their putter in the pond or wrap their 5 iron around a tree. Most of them seem very nice and pleasant to be around. The atmosphere at the ladies tournaments is so much more relaxed than at the men's tournamants.
Can you think of a PGA tour player in the top 20 that is as humble and friendly as Lorena Ochoa? You can't beat the ladies personalities and attitudes.
A lot of the men seem to walk around with a chip on their shoulder and a frown on their face. There are exceptions of course, and I love to see Phil and Tiger play, but if they're not in the field I normally tune out.

The chip on their shoulder is Tiger Woods, and having to play for second...
plus there are some class acts on the mens tour... I really like Geoff Olgilvy and Couples... Phil seems like a nice guy, but it almost feels fake to me... i don't know never met the guy. Ian Poulter... come on who cant like him, I can think of plenty that have fun and are genuinely nice guys.
you have to remember though, this is their job, and they are playing for large sums of money, that can be lost and won, with one bad shot.

I'm just saying.
Remember when Jim Brown said he could run faster than Franco Harris.
Was it better for you to THINK he could possibly be still fast enough to run down an over-the-hill NFL running back?
It was better for me when when everyone saw the cold hard facts.
I am NOT trying to knock down the LPGA's best, I am trying to see how good they are.
Better yet, let the men play one of their courses.

OMG in your world Gulbis is hot, but Lima is average? You probably like your women with a beard? (FACE)

You are so spot on! The LPGA does not have any players ranked around 50 in the world rankings that gross a million by making cuts. You really have to be world class to make a decent paycheck. None of that cut making for a living crap. The girls truly come out to win. I think that the PGA boys are a spoiled bunch of brats... They need to eat oranges for a week...
All of you guys who prefer to watch the LPGA have to realize you are in a ridiculously small minority. Of all golf fans (and I mean, love golf, eat golf, play golf, live golf type guys) you comprise at best 5%.
The rest of the world could not care less what anyone not named Lorena, Annika, or Natalie are doing.
If they even know who they are.
