I don't understand the Golf Channel's golf coverage..

When the PGA Tour changed their Q school format, the idea was to put more emphasis on the Web.com Tour. Yet the Golf Channel has basically ignored it in favor of the LPGA Tour. There has been more LPGA coverage this year than some full years. I see where only 4 Web.com tournaments will have some limited coverage this year. Tons of good players and some ong time PGA Tour members are relegated to the Web.com tour under the new format but there is now far less coverage while there is far more coverage of the LPGA Tour. It's as if Title IX has crept into professional golf. I don't get it.

Agreed. I would rather watch NGA Tour events than the LPGA. Hell, I'd rather watch Amateur events.
I have zero interest in the LPGA.

The LPGA Tour is more interesting/lucrative than the Web.com Tour for corporate sponsors, golf companies, fans, and the general populous.

I guess I'm in the minority but I like watching the LPGA. You get to see attractive women (along with some not so attractive ones), playing golf.
Also since most of them don't even hit the ball as far as I do, and can't really spin it a ton like the PGA guys, I like seeing the shots they try because they are similar to shots I would try.
Of course they are successful in their shot attempts way more often than I am, which I think is the most interesting part. You watch the PGA guys and they hit 200yd 8 irons that hit and stick and you're just like damn I could never pull that off. But you watch the LPGA and these girls are shooting under par but hitting the same types of shots you hit, and a lot of them don't even hit it as far as you do, it's impressive.

Agreed, women need to stick to volleyball and tennis
