Earlier this year, ahead of the Aramco Team Series event in London, I enthusiastically informed my friend about an upcoming interview with Nelly Korda. To my surprise, she responded with a blank look and asked, "Who's that?" This friend is a keen and competitive club player and a true fan of the game, and whilst she is unaware of this prominent figure in women’s golf, she excitedly expressed her love for watching men’s golf and effortlessly listed several names of the leading male professionals. Needless to say, I was disappointed, although not completely surprised.
Based on what I've observed, it's common for many female club players to not pay much attention to professional women's golf. This can be definitely attributed to the historical lack of visibility for women's golf, which has ingrained the habit of watching men's golf.
