Those Nelly chants announce a new dawn for the LPGA. Right or wrong, how Craig Kessler and Chad Coleman market this moment to grow the tour will be tenure defining for the commissioner and chief marketing Officer. The LPGA has its long sought megawatt superstar to market.
Mind boggling to me that Hinako Shibuno's caddie is also her agent! Mimi Taya has been on the bag for her before in majors: she was in contention with Mimi on the bag at KPMG in 2024.
To further preview the @uswomensopen, @scottieobamaleo and I are joined by @scottwalkerontv to draft teams and answer a Bill Simmons style question: who are the five players who a win this week would have the greatest impact on the LPGA?
Scottie and I are joined by 2023 @uswomensopen winner @allisen_sc to preview 2026, how life changing winning the USWO is, her Solheim dominance in foursomes alongside Nelly Korda, and much more!
Scottie and I were joined by @acaseofthegolf1 to discuss his article, Playing it Safe, on the disconnect between the LPGA product and its fans. Safe to say, we did not play this conversation safe as we discussed who shares what blame and what solutions are controllable versus not
Episode 3 of the LPGA Edge with @scottieobamaleo: Nelly wins again in Mexico, Scottie takes us behind the curtain of the caddie meeting with the LPGA commissioner, WTGL roster updates and a pressing question from PIF withdrawing from LIV: how might it impact the women's game?
@SherwoodStrauss And he had the most insane game 7 performance that gave the Warriors a chance. His offensive perception might have changed on that game alone had they won.
Episode 2 of the LPGA Edge: @scottieobamaleo played nine holes with @NellyKorda in her Wednesday practice round... and she shot six under. We discuss the Chevron in general, if LPGA set ups are discerning who the best players are on tour, and @AmariAveryGolf's Epson victory.
