I think we need a dominant, charismatic, relatively attractive American. Someone who does interviews all over mass media, and brings in casual fans.

True. But man it has taken quite a leap in the right direction the past few years already. It would be interesting to quantify how much of a factor sex appeal has been since the Laura Davies days, to present days.I know this is not a PC opinion (and at least I'm not the only one saying it), but I think the LPGA would benefit from sex appeal. I don't think that is something that you can "fix", but I think it would move the needle if it happened. Besides that, I think they have just about everything else they need. Double good if they had a dominate American or two that were also toothsome.

a dominant, attractive american woman who has some star presence.
I was asked this earlier and I gave it a lot of thought. I was asked what they need to take another step in the ratings and capture more fans. I hesitate because I am not sure it's possible, but let's assume it is and that it will not be a fringe sport. What does it need to do or need in general to do that?
We have seen dominance, although it appears to change to new dominance every few years.
We have seen great golf courses being played.
It is on the Golf Channel.
Their social media and digital marketing is pretty strong.
Do they need more American presence?
Do they need a dominant American?
Do they need more sex appeal?
What do you think they need or can do?
Lets ask this question.......why are the Foreign / Asian girls so good at this sport?
I don’t think the LPGA needs anything it doesn’t already have. I’m sorry to beat a dead horse but I think the golf community needs to be more accommodating to women golfers, more tee boxes at shorter distances, course layout with more layup areas, less forced carries designed for men. The LPGA is fine but golf needs more women.
More airtime. More marketing. More Americans.
I really think showing more college golf would help a ton.
Look at Women's soccer and see if you can emulate their success. USWNT is much more popular than the USMNT.
Considering I am Korean. I’ve seen how Korean parents invest their whole life grooming their kids to certain talents. Such as music, sports etc. Their talents are analyzed from kindergarten or some before that. In Korea kids attend certain type of after school programs where children get proper instruction to enhance and develop their talents. They go through rigorous training and very few makes it.
This is not my opinion but it makes sense. My brother in law who lives in Korea and he is one of the cello instructor in Seoul University. I asked similar question on why Korean females are having such success in golf. He just said they just work harder. Same goes to music. They just work harder.
If they are not sleeping, they practice. Than why men programs are not matching their female counterparts? He said physically they still are not gifted as Americans. There are some but not enough numbers to actually have talents. He said it’s number game. For Korean female golfer, they are physically compatible and they just work harder. Makes sense to me.

Get them off just the Golf Channel and get them on regular channels more.
