With all due respect, how does it change everything? (Maybe you are kidding) Instead of focusing on their games, the foreign players have to worry about having English proficiency. None of these women are poor (by the time they have made it to the LPGA), so they can afford it themselves really.
@Rocketpig
I understand your point about not wanting to alienate the English fanbase, but I think sacrificing the (at most) 20% who would refuse to watch foreign non-English speaking players in order to possibly greatly expand your world wide visibility.
@anyone
Can you name any other professional sports in the USA that puts speaking English above talent? I don't think such a rule exists in any other sport. And unlike sports like the NBA, NHL and NFL which are NA only, the LPGA is very international so they should be MORE open.
