No english no play

What language would be mandatoy in Europe?

I understand what the LPGA is trying to do.  From a marketing perspective they need to develop their brand.  If top tier players cannot speak English it ultimately hurts the overall quality of the product.  It's just Business 101.

Every Korean player who spoke with Golfweek about the meeting came away with the understanding she would lose her tour card if she failed the test rather than face suspension, according to the report. But Korean players who spoke about the policy supported the tour's position, though some, including Se Ri Pak, felt fines would be better than suspensions.

"We agree we should speak some English," Pak said, according to the report. "We play so good overall. When you win, you should give your speech in English."

Angela Park, a Korean-American who was born in Brazil and speaks three languages, said it's difficult to "come to a foreign country and be yourself." She also supports the rule and says it's fair, according to the report........................

................."The LPGA could come out and say they only want 10 Koreans, but they're not," Park said, according to Golfweek. "A lot of Korean players think they are being targeted, but it's just because there are so many of them."

And Seon-Hwa Lee, who said she is working with an English tutor during the offseason and plans to brush up for the evaluation, thinks everyone "can do a simple interview," according to the report. Her ability to answer questions without a translator has improved during her time on the tour.

"The economy is bad, and we are losing sponsors," she said, according to the report. "Everybody understands."

Why don't the MLB pundits enforce the same thing?
Probably b/c they would lose 1/2 of the players in the league.

I guess nothing else will pull the LPGA out of sagging ratings due to Anika's departure coupled with reduction in sponsor prize money quite like a Hoo Suk Kim letting us know on Sunday that (she) ".......is such a stupid!"
