Its unfortunate that these plyers don't get a educationand parents sre pushing kids to make it. If our girls didn't go to school I am sure they would be better mgolfers but there comes a time when golfing is over and then what . Its sad for the LPGA don't get involved in trying to insure this is not fair for the gilrs. If they start out young playing everyday and don't make it what do you do with them ??

Obviously, our girls are not good enough to 'take over' the LPGA. The world doesn't really care if you would watch LPGA, or if Americans 'takes it over.' The whole world only cares about who's the best and so far it has been Korean girls. If you find it unacceptable, then simply do not watch it. Obviously, you are not a golfer.

you have a valid point. American golf spectors do want to see more american women players. However, like all sports, more diverse national groups are entering golf. Of course, all involved would like to see more polished players in the korean women players such as Tiger Woods. However, the korean ladies and their parents will eventually navigate the game of sponsorship, and some may transcend into golf-stardom. But honestly all can agree that we, americans should look at large representation of korean women in the sport as a challenge for american women players to work harder, making LPGA more exciting! my guess is that, there are already american superstars developing about to transcend in the sport of golf! Let us wait and see!

I did not know there was supposed to be a limit on how many golfers are allowed to play in the LPGA, get a clue lady, the Korean women are good because they work hard to be good, also, the talent pool in US Women golf is not that deep for now, but you'll see that in the future, when there are some money to be made in women's golf there will be slew of talent that will emerge from the US! Do you think the MLB should limit how many Latin baseball players should be allowed to play in the MLB? Please don't let your zenophobic mind control your social thoughts

QUIT school? Not if you're Korean-American! In Korea, opportunities in higher education are really limited (expensive, borderline suicidal competitive) and there aren't too many opportunities to become fabulously rich either. If you're good at something like golf...you have money AND esteem.
If you're Korean-American, you are expected to be a fabulous golfer AND #1 student :X

Grew up in Taejon, South Korea as part of a missionary family. 2 comments.
1. There is a singleminded-ness and determination to be successful among (South Koreans) Koreans that is truly refreshing. in the 60s and 70s when I grew up there, they were dirt poor. My parents started orphanges there and would get AmericaN CHURCHES TO sponsor and support them. Now South Korea is the most internet wired country (per capita basis) in the world. Watch out, they are just getting started.
2. The difference between South Koreans (Samsung, LG, Daewoo, Hyundai,Posco, etc.) vs North koreans who can barely feed themselves (and who are now on average 3-4 inches shorter than their South Korean brothers and sisters is the world's biggest testament to the superiority of capitalism vs. communism.

The article don't really explain why Korean women golfers dominate in US. If the article is true, they why is it then Korean men do not dominate golf in U.S, as women do?

One reason I never see mentioned is that it is just a lot easier to dominate women's golf because it is a much smaller sport. Far more men play golf in far more countries, so the standards at the top of the sport are close to the maximum possible level, which was certainly not the case in women's golf before the Korean's came along.
