Most of the best players are fully supporting this initiative. Many of them already speak English.
It's not as if the LPGA is throwing international players out on their asses. They're hiring tour tutors to help the non-English players for no charge. Overall, I don't know if this will help them gain back viewership (I really don't know enough about their problems), but I won't fault them for trying something different and I'm sure as shit not going to scream "Discrimination!" without reading more about the situation.
