For all the people who say it's the same between watching PGA or LPGA, I've gotta tell ya, from what I've seen, there's a world of difference.

The men are there competing for a TON of money, and they play like it. It's amazing how many eagle shots from 150 yards out go in or get within a couple of feet. It's amazing how close to the pin the guys HAVE to get just to stay on the green, due to tucked away pin positions within 3-4 yards of the edge.

Cut to LPGA tournaments, where the pin is pretty much in the centre of the green, and the players still have trouble sticking it close. They're not exactly playing for chump change or anything, but it's seriously inferior to the men's wages. I'm not here to get into a gender debate, but comparing men's and women's tours is a classic case of apples and oranges. Sure, Annika dominates over the LPGA with several wins with 8 shots or more separating her from the field, but what happened in the '03 Colonial? Oh, that's right. #1 woman golfer in the world couldn't cut it with the big boys.

I think amateurs watching the LPGA would have just as much fun watching the Amateur tours, for the reason that they would enjoy watching the LPGA: it's a class of golf that's more down to our level. These are still exceptional golfers, but their scores and habits regarding course management/distance/accuracy/putting/several other facets of the game, are more readily accessible to the weekend golfer than, say, Tiger Woods' 200-yard 6-iron bunker shot onto the green over a lake in the Canadian Open several years back, or one of Kenny Perry's several eagles from the fairway.
