The LPGA players are more personable than the PGA guys. It is a more relaxed atmosphere, they are aware that their fans play a huge role in how the game is perceived and the overall state of the game. They are always thanking sponsors, volunteers, etc. When is the last time you heard Tiger thank volunteers?.?.?
