With Men’s Golf Merging, LPGA Icons Nelly Korda and Lexi Thompson Voiced Their Strong Sentiments on Women’s LIV Golf Tour Months Ago
The PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and LIV Golf have joined forces in an unprecedented move that has shocked the golfing community, signaling a pivotal point in the history of the sport. The press statement that Jay Manohan released shocked the golfing community and caused a lot of discussion and excitement among enthusiasts.
In a ground-breaking gesture that has enthralled the golfing community, famous LPGA luminaries Lexi Thompson and Nelly Korda, expressed their unwavering sentiments on the possibility of formation of a Women’s LIV Golf Tour months before the circuits merged. The relevance of gender equality and representation in the world of professional golf was highlighted by these golfing icons’ passionate remarks.
Greg Norman, the CEO of LIV, was asked about the likelihood of women participating in LIV Golf during an interview with the Palm Beach Post in July, 2022. Insinuating that there may soon be a chance for women to join LIV Golf, Norman disclosed that internal conversations were occurring among the authorities. The question of whether the athletes will accept and support this new pathway for women’s participation in the sport is raised by this development.
Nelly Korda, the victorious champion of the Aramco Team Series tournament, exemplified a remarkable level of transparency when it came to her intentions, as evident in her statement few months back. She firmly asserted that she was not one to be preoccupied with mere speculations.
According to a report, Nelly Korda said, “My eyes are set on the LPGA. That’s all speculation to me. I’m focusing on the LPGA Tour and what’s in front of me.”
Instead, her unwavering focus remains dedicated to the world of the LPGA Tour. In light of this, any rumors or discussions concerning women’s golf serve as a mere distraction from her primary goals and aspirations.
