it is pretty dope

Sure but she’s not Asian American.

@@AmoebaCulture Their parents are not all Asian Americans. They were still impacted by Se-Ri's success and raised their kids to become like her. She very much impacted all Asian parents.

There's a lull right now as older Korean's retire and fewer Korean's are rushing to the LPGA. BUT The next wave of Korean women golfers are good. American's have no clue what is about to hit them. American media purposefully ignore foreigners on the LPGA tour as much as possible. You need to search and begin watching the Korean tour and Japanese tour.

Not anymore. No new Korean stars have been emerging for last 3 years, they have hard time keeping up pace with average driver distance as LPGA average driver distance has been increasing in a scale. Their own KLPGA tour has been providing those ladies enough purse so it would be also a better choice to compete each other at KLPGA for them. They have Asian Americans who has been in scene for juniors which have been enriching the US sports business though.

You mean foreign countries providing funding to kids to compete against zero funding US kids.... Not fair at all... Remember when Americans used to love the story of the grocery store clerk who made it to the MLB.... You notice that NEVER happens anymore... Do you ever wonder why? Here is the simple rub, these other countries see industry in the US with high value in athletics, but US rich folks see it as a scam to rip off middle class parents for investment funding. Both the parents and the zero funding from the state is competing in the US with foreign government programs which provide cradle to pro circuit funding and lifestyle for skilled kids. No investment in the US means US kids always lose in numbers to foreignors for every us thing of value.

I went to an exclusive golf range the other day and they have about 30 slots and every one of them was occupied by an Asian. They take their golf as seriously as their math.

People do. Don't buy the lies.

Best kept secret

he black

What is Hmong ? Hah

I didn't know that, thanks.

I think she was referring to "Asian American". But, 19/25 is not bad.

Exactly my point! Why are we singling them out by race! If they are winning then America 🇺🇸 is winning.

@@Lovetoall14People think of America as White peoples Caucasian .

@@rithythach3992 No. It is pretty lousy. If you look at the rolex rankings closely, you'll see something like 30+ koreans, about 20 Japanese, and about 11 Americans IN THE TOP 100. American women's golf developement is horrendous. They can't keep up. It will be decades before the USGA and LPGA can fix their dev system. until then, watch the Korean and Japanese tours. The next batch of Korean's are about to hit the LPGA.

segment is about asian americans, not foreign born asians

@@GAMBOLLL81 Yes, but Asian immigrants play a lot of golf and also drive there kids to be really good at it. In my opinion the parents see golf as a sport that wealthy and upper class people in the US play. It's a good way to blend in and show the wealth you have accumulated through hard work. *This all coming from a white man, who is married to a 1st generation daughter of a South Korean immigrant. My mother in law ended up becoming one of the top golfers (senior, forgot to mention that part) in Hawaii for a few years when Michell Wie started to take over that scene.

@@GAMBOLLL81 The point is people are more influenced and motivated by people who are similar to them. Once the Korean women showed the world that it was possible to succeed in the LPGA, more Asian women and women of Asian descent got interested in golf. The same way Tiger Woods got more people of African descent interested in golf.

Exactly! Why are we singling out their race?

I been to the indoor dome golf driving range and it is mostly Koreans where I live. Koreans love to play golf.

Cause the black people won't allow it. Just look at Lin and Ming

@@simpolangdisagree. Who calls the shots. Who owns the nba??? You have to convince them to get rid of their conscious and subconscious biases and sometimes bigotry against Asians

@@simpolang They want to dominate but look at the European stars like Jokic and Luka Doncic.

@@user-er3ri6sc3j I'm talking about Asians specifically

They are pre dominantly tall if that’s what you mean

Yep. I dont even golf but joked to my wife that our daughter will golf and/or do tennis

Your daughter will need to devote her life to golf to make the LPGA. But if she wants to do that, then I hope she succeeds.

not really worth the investment when pga tour makes 3 times as much. the competition lvl isnt as high but doubt it translates equivalently with the lower purse. lpga pros dont make for good wives if family isnt a focus than its a good route if you enjoy the game.

Nom Pro Sport seems like its worth the effort...until you try it. Male professionals also can be crappy spouses ...look at Tiger...and now Rory

@@freedomrulesjavier3904 a women on the road all the time is not the same. most probably dont get married until they give it up like michelle wee did. tiger is crappy because he got caught cheating on a woman that was there for a paycheck is up for debate. rory isnt even married.

They’re definitely not better at driving cars

She doesn't count, she is white.

Nelly is my the favorite golfer but nothing is set in stone in golf. If you check top female golfers and champions for the past 10 years you will clearly see this.

the Vice President isn't black either but you get the point...

There is no point other than to insinuate America is racist. Of course, this news story is racist.

@@ImionsaeXwb77 The VP is a descendant of slave owners.

Nelly Korda is also the hottest female golfer.

@@primo_budino I somewhat agree, but it does create needless division, especially if you're 2nd-gen and born in America. It's like you're always an outsider, not part of the only society you know. First-gen is more understandable as they have an immigrant identity. Speaking as a 2nd-gen child.

@@sociolocomtsacI hear you, many things can be true!

@@primo_budino You didn't answer my question .What is the correlation between background and sharing American values . Also I didn't make any reference to diversity. Not sure what that has to do with the need for some to put a label on anyone.

@@primo_budinothat was such a weird attempt at comparative explanation…and it missed the OP’s point completely. And by the way, there are major intra-group differences in how people are raised as well. Pretty sure John Daly and Nick Faldo had radically different upbringings despite them being both white as a sheet.

It’s actually the Sei Ri Pak effect. She started the Korean dominance and eventually the Asian dominance. Most of the top Asian American golfers are of Korean immigrant parents.

I'm pretty sure you just made that up.

@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 2003: Jan Stephenson, who became the first woman to play on the Champions Tour on Friday, said Asians are "killing" the LPGA Tour and their numbers should be limited. 2008: The LPGA Tour have backed off a plan to require players to speak English or face suspensions, with LPGA commissioner Carolyn Bivens saying that a punishment-free program would be adopted. 2019: Hank Haney was openly and unabashedly dismissive of the women’s game on his SiriusXM Radio show last week. As a high-profile figure in an influential position, he basically said he couldn’t care less about professional women’s golf and its biggest event of the year. And, he implied that Korean dominance was a big turnoff, that all he could be certain of is that there were a bunch of players named Lee in the field.

@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 KZfaq is cranky and doesn't like lots of data / quotes: _Jan Stephenson, who became the first woman to play on the Champions Tour on Friday, said Asians are "killing" the LPGA Tour and their numbers should be limited._ And yeah, that's from 2003.

@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 I'm pretty sure you are clueless when it comes to this subject.

sad but true

I think we're more inspired by the potential paycheck!

So many fools on yt.

It depends if you think having a womb is a requirement

The media is contemptable. And so are these privileged, pampered professional golfers.

The best woman golfer in the world is white.

Outside of Nelly Korda, they’re all simply not good enough

Pretty sure only the best can play on the womens tour 🤡

@mre_man meghan kang and alison lee probably have 1 lpga tour win between them...there are way more accomplished asian american lpga players JS

Clearly enough people watch golf that the prize money is in the millions. This isn't the WNBA, buddy: people watch. While I don't go searching for women's golf, if I actually have time to sit down on a Saturday afternoon and women's golf is on, I absolutely have no issues watching. When Michelle Wie was doing her thing, I'd definitely watch if I had time. The issue is there are so many things to watch and do, it's hard for any one thing to grab everyone's attention. But again, this isn't the WNBA: people watch women's golf, otherwise, the prize money wouldn't be in the millions.

Multi million winning pots, not to mention multi-million endorsement deals.

@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403you don’t understand anything about golf do you

No one watches Men’s golf either😅

​@rickyayy they dont get nearly as much money as the men.

So true…most girls go into volleyball.

Tell that to NBA and NFL

It is diverse. Diversity means no whites, especially no white men.

More Eskimos!

What's a "colored individual"?

everybody actually. there are genetic and cultural differences. And do not project. America is not the world

Stop whining

Did you miss the detail that six of these women are Asian AMERICAN?

@@lpollock7893 Thanks for the newsflash

Which part?

What was racist about it? serious question.

White people have dominated this sport for a long time the only sport white rich men have left is cricket 🏏 😂 that sport sucks you can have that

you are a joke

@@wudemaya Wake up.

Ignorant much?

This comment is extremely racist and distasteful

Didn't come across like that to me at all. There was no mention of discrimination. It's pretty obvious professional golf was only filled with well to do white folks and now it's becoming more diversified. It looks more to me like you're projecting your politics onto this.

@@RoughNeckDelta The title is, “Asian American athletes dominate women’s golf.” What if the title was, “White American men dominate business”? Or, “Black American men dominate basketball”? Or, “Dominican American Men Dominate baseball?” It seems like you are just dividing people by “race” to make a story. Who cares? Why couldn’t we focus on a title like, “two great women from humble beginnings, are dominating women’s golf?” Nothing ever stopped Asian people from playing golf in their home country. Nothing stopped them from playing here in the United States. Why is this a news worthy story? Doesn’t seem like a healthy, non-racist country, would care who did what in a free society and only focus on “race”. How much in common does a person from Laos 🇱🇦 and a person from South Korea 🇰🇷 really have in common other than being classified into a made up racist group. My political agenda is for the United States 🇺🇸 to welcome all people and stop hyper focusing on “race”, which is a made up social construct really only talked about in formerly racist countries like the United States and South Africa. To me, the story is two people from humble beginnings dominate a game made for rich people. It is hard for a poor white man to “dominate” golf without money for coaches and green fees. So, why focus on them being Asian?

You totally missed the point. This is a story about immigrant parents who made enormous personal sacrifices, so their children can have a better opportunity.

oh there used to be a lot of racism when koreans first started playing in the lpga, i'm sure there was plenty before. if you grow up as a minority, especially asian, discrimination is common enough you anticipate and expect it, it's pretty normal so you learn to deal with it to a degree too, but it's never pleasant
