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.

There's no question it's impressive. I happen to drive by Northriver Yacht Club in Tuscaloosa when I was in town for A-day a few years ago and the SEC Women's Golf Championship was there. I watched a few groups play their second shots into into a par 4 over water with the pin tucked in a swale where the ball would funnel down to the hole if hit in the correct precise spot. Watched a girl lip out for a 2 while another girl holed out for a 2 and a few others hit it in the leather. The swings and quality ball striking they displayed was very impressive.
I don't have a problem with them showing more LPGA golf as long as they also show a lot of Web.com tour golf as well. It doesn't even have to be live, just tape the coverage and show it later or on week day evenings if they have to.
