‘Want the Whole Arm’: Nelly Korda Confesses the One Brutal Advantage Male Pros Enjoy as the LPGA Tour Struggles to Shatter the Glass Ceiling

The PGA Tour exceeds the women’s circuit in several aspects. One of those aspects happens to be the viewership of both the leagues. While the men’s circuit gets the best from the golf community, the LPGA Tour finds itself way behind in attracting the public’s attention to its events.

In September of the Solheim Cup, Team America’s captain, Stacy Lewis, had grieved about the lack of coverage, and now, the LPGA cover girl, Nelly Korda, confessed the lack of ‘Primetime TV’ available for the women’s golf as the issue, while being hopeful for a stronger future for the LPGA Tour.

Nelly Korda is one of the participants in the annual PNC Championship. The 1x major champ will be playing alongside her father, Petr Korda. Before teeing it off at the event, the pair sat for a pre-match press conference where Korda shared the progress of women’s golf and one thing that is holding it back.

The 8x LPGA Tour winner compared the two Tours; men and women and found a striking difference between the two. She said, “I think what’s holding it back is that we’re not on prime-time TV, obviously all the time like the men are. I think that’s where you get the most viewership.”
