Like 2013, this year I will do a countdown of the top money list leaders from both the WTA and LPGA. Last year I did the top 30, but this year I will do the top 25. Note that as of this post, the retired Li Na has been removed from the WTA website money … Continue reading
Maria Sharapova Tops Forbes Highest Paid Female Athletes For 10th Straight Year
When the Forbes list of top 100 paid athletes came out a month or so ago, it was obvious Maria Sharapova, Li Na and Serena Williams would be 1, 2 and 3 when the top 10 female athlete list was published. Now it has been, and so officially we can say Masha has topped the … Continue reading
Jessica Korda Leads 2014 Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic After Round Two; Paula Creamer One Shot Back
The winds were whipping the course on day two of the 2014 Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic, but that didn’t stop Jessica Korda and playing partner Paula Creamer from torching the Ocean Club Golf Course on Paradise Island.

Paula Creamer, Beatriz Recari Tied For Lead After 3rd Round Of 2013 Marathon Classic
Took a long break after Wimbledon 2013 to recharge the batteries, so to speak.

Na Yeon Choi, Inbee Park, Cristie Kerr, Paula Creamer, Yani Tseng and Stacy Lewis Pre-US Women’s Open Interviews
Some of the top contenders sat down for pre-tournament US Women’s Open interviews. Even though Na Yeon Choi is the defending champion, for me the buzz is surrounding Inbee Park. Can she make it 3 out of 3 Majors won this year? She’s coming off her 5th win of 2013 and looks unstoppable when she … Continue reading
Moriya Jutanugarn, Amanda Blumenherst Lead 2013 ShopRite LPGA Classic After Round 1
As I mentioned in my Roland Garros post before this one, I took some time off to deal with medical issues. Well…and one other thing. I have to admit that poultry comment from Sergio Garcia reawakened memories of Fuzzy Zoeller…and had me considering switching Fairways and Forehands…to just Forehands. Basically, just follow tennis and drop … Continue reading
2013 LPGA Thailand: Storylines I Am Watching
The LPGA moves to Thailand (where I was born) this week for the 2013 Honda LPGA Thailand. Of course, every LPGA fan has their own players and storylines they are watching. On a purely personal basis, I am looking at some young guns to see how they will perform. Of particular interest to me are … Continue reading
Suzann Pettersen Wins Back To Back LPGA Events With 2012 Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship Title
Well, so much for that title slump Suzann Pettersen was in. Apparently, the LPGA Tour’s Asian swing was the medicine she needed as she followed her playoff victory over Catriona Matthew at Hana Bank 2012 in Korea with a 3-shot 19-under victory over Inbee Park at the 2012 Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship. With four rounds … Continue reading
Inbee Park Leads 2012 Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship After First Round
Here’s the good news if you’re Inbee Park. You just went out and torched the course at the 2012 Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship to the tune of a clean 7 birdie, no bogey 7-under 65.
