After years of dedicated efforts and consideration, women’s golf has finally found a solid platform to latch onto. This season’s tournaments are set to be the most lucrative in terms of prize money at the LPGA Tour, which has been a growing constraint in the years gone by. Ahead of international women’s day next week, former women’s player Dame Laura Davies spoke about a range of topics about the subject, including the future of women’s golf.

For the unversed, Dame Laura Davies is a former English golfer who was one of her nation’s most accomplished female players. She was the first non-American to top the LPGA money list.

Speaking on Sky Sports special on the aspect of women’s games, the LPGA ‘Hall of Famer’ revealed what separated the ladies’ tour from the men’s tour. “They are very powerful players but it’s more about precision,” she said. “So the perception when people come and watch the women’s game, they shouldn’t be expecting the 330-yard drives because that’s not what we are about.”

“It’s just as entertaining, in my opinion, as much as the men’s game… it’s just a slightly powered-down version,” she claimed.

What does women’s golf have in store for the future?

The 59-year-old also praised the upward trend in women’s golf, especially the venues of tournaments. “The standard of play, prize money, courses we play, and we are going to the very best golf courses in the world now whereas we didn’t use to do that. So, everything is rising all the time,” she said.

But what does women’s golf lack today? Despite increasing purses, Davies wanted more, but not for the game’s top players. “I want to see more money in the game for the lesser-ranked players because the really top stars, they are getting rewarded really handsomely. But some of the girls at the lower level, it’s tough to make a living,” she said.
