Given the Michelle Wie hype, lets say that this weekend you can watch the Kemper Open (sans Tiger) or an LPGA event with Michelle Wie, Morgan Pressel, Paula Creamer, and Natalie Gulbus (the LPGA Big 4), which would you watch?

I say the new LPGA American big 4 are more interseting "in many ways" to watch than most PGA events. Unless Tiger is in it I would rather watch the LPGA. Also, with all due respect to Anika or any robotic South Korean player, if Michelle Wie is in the event I want to watch it. And the kids are more of a draw than Anika.

So which is it, LPGA with the new American kids or a Tigerless PGA?

I'll take Paula, Natalie, Morgan, and Cristie over most PGA events any day.

If we want the actual big four, I think Sorenstam/Wie/Creamer/Ochoa is a lot closer than the list you provided.

As for my vote, I'll take the LPGA Tour with some star power over a middling PGA Tour event.

Natalie Gulbus gives me 2 PERFECT reasons to watch.

I still watch tourneys sans Tiger, but against a "loaded" LPGA field I would definately watch the latter.

If I had to make a choice, I'd still choose the PGA Tour event. Unfortunately for me, a lot of my favorite PGA Tour golfers are in the 50-100 range in the world rankings. They play a lot of the smaller events on tour, so it keeps me entertained. The PGA Tour fields are usually fairly deep, even in the smaller tournaments (except the ones on the same week as WGC events, etc.).

I'd probably flip it back and forth between the two, but I'd go with the PGA Tour if my life depended on it.
