Who is your favorite player on the LPGA Tour and why?

[PEZGolf]

My choice is Stacy Lewis because she is such a tough competitor. She never gives up!

[SavvySwede]

Michelle Wie for her putting style.

What is it called? The pool table? Oh, my aching back!

My favorite is the one with the shortest skorts on. Why is pretty obvious.

My second choice is Gerina Piller. She is good-looking, and improves every year. She has one of the best smiles on Tout.

Me too but because she told everyone to "stuff it" when they said she should quit school and play full time. The golf analysts on the idiot box were the worst! Good for you, Michelle!  You stuck to you guns, finished your degree and yet still managed to go out and win. 

[No Mulligans]

Lydia Ko - for her ability and attitude

Good post. Michelle went through Hell, and then proved her critics WRONG!!

Can't argue with that logic.

Wie.  She's the only player who can get me to stop down for an LPGA event when in contention.  Unfortunately, she hasn't been there enough to date.  Hoping for a successful 2016 for her.

[rkim291968]

Lewis for her heart. 

Sei Young Kim for finding amazing ways to win.  She's a risk taker.  Does not believe in laying up.

NY Choi for her smooth swing.

Lydia Ko is the Tiger of LPGA.

Wie for her pornish putting.

Korda, a Popeye's GF lookalike.

Shen Shen Feng & In Bee Park remind me of a statue of Buddha.  Both are sublime players.

In Ji Chun - likely the rookie of the year in 2016. 

There's a lot to like in LPGA.

[Pendragon]

My favorite player is Lydia Ko, who has demonstrated the correct way to make the transition from a young phenom to a superstar without letting her parents screw her up. 

My least favorite is Michelle Wie, for doing just the opposite. 

[alleztom]

Amy Yang - her swing is so smooth I could watch it forever.

[mvmac]

Lexi Thompson. I like her swing (even though parts of it are unique), it's fun to watch how far she hits it and I like her personality. Oh and she's pretty cute.

Props for accurate historic reference. I think that Paul Runyan also advocated the Diegle approach for putting and chipping yips, though the anchoring part is now against the rules.

Can't argue with that - very sincere genuine engaging smile. I like her combination of clearly fierce competitive intensity offset by a respectful, courteous manner. Lots of heart. Will enjoy seeing her as a Solheim stalwart in years to come. I'll bet she makes a great mom if / when she goes that route.

She seems to make it look effortless. Jealous.

 

I like lots  of others too - depends on the arc of their story / the tournament at the moment. Admire Stacy's grit, but find her public persona / style of play less engaging than say Lexi.

Have to give nods to Mo Martin for her plucky underpowered win at the Ladies Open Champ and Shanshan for her extremely gracious response in defeat.

Last year I went to the LPGA tournament held at Aviara in the San Diego area.  The overall vibe on the LPGA tour seemed more casual and more friendly to me.  At the 16th tee box, Lydia pulled out of her golf bag some mixed fruit in a Tupperware like container and offered some to her fellow competitors.  She seemed very friendly, just like a group of friends out for a round of golf.  She also seems pretty humble considering her accomplishments.  And... this kind of attitude sure doesn't seem to hurt her playing.

Lydia Ko. She's just a kid but has so much talent. As others have mentioned, a very unassuming and easy going attitude, yet she wins lots of tournaments.
