PGA vs LPGA

Show me some real stats to prove your point or some sort of DNA study to prove your point.

When I said you should see around 38% GB Scholars, what that meant was that there are around 38% of women each year at HBS (figures are off but close). So, thats something of a 3:2 men to women ration. You should see a similar ratio of GB scholars, and you don't, you see a ratio much more representative of men.

EDIT: Don't think I've ever explained what George Baker (GB) Scholars are: they are the top 5% performers of their respective business classes.

I wasn't trying to make a definitive point anyway, so no need to get hard facts.

Just wait a few years, and you will kind of get your wish. I believe the 2014 US & US Womens Opens are going to be played at Pinehurst #2 on consectutive weeks.

Won't be the same conditions, though. They'll let it soften up for the gals. I sure hope they don't have a playoff that pushes the men to Monday.

You are making a ton of assumptions (the men and woman are the same other than gender, this result has anything to do with competiveness, there is no gender bias in testing) to draw this conclusion and even more to extend it to all activities.

I will stand by the assessment if you pay the LPGA players the same as the PGA players, in 20 years the standard of play on the LPGA tour would be a lot better. Not going to happen.

I know, I was just throwing it out there. Mainly because the article I took this from basically drew the same conclusion.
