First, today I just stumbled upon your newsletter and am a huge fan. As a player on the Epson Tour and having played 5 LPGA events in my career, it is fascinating to see the business behind the game. This is a great piece on how the money on the money LPGA is getting better and I think this new PIF and PGA Tour announcement will bleed into the LPGA in a positive manner. However, I think it's important to point out that currently, the 100th-ranked player on the LPGA money list is making just south of $63k. Depending on her sponsorships, once you deduct expenses she is probably barely making any profit. Pretty insane being that she is practically a top 100 player in the world! I think that would be a fascinating newsletter is the average salary of LPGA players. Meaning after expenses are deducted. Also, being on the Epson Tour, I think it would be interesting for readers to hear about breaking even or profiting on the LPGA feeder tour. Overall, great stuff. Glad I stumbled upon Perfect Putt!

Good to see women golfers getting some nice paychecks -- will be interesting to see if LIV makes a move in the female game.
