【G8按：LPGA一共有121名球员，来自26个国家，其中45人来自韩国。我要问的是，既然大部分Qualified 球员来自韩国，LPGA难道不能让韩语成为工作语言之一？看来还是西方人，特别是美国人自己成了Sour Loser. 还有人大言不惭地宣布LPGA是美国Tour, 因此，LPGA says English is required language理所当然地要有英文水平的要求。Ok, 既然是你美国自己Tour，那么你们美国人自己关起门来自己手淫算了，干嘛还需要别国的高手来参加？英文讲得好跟高尔夫球技有直接联系吗？Language is one of the major elements of the Origin of the nations, this is really way beyond the law against discrimination !】
LPGA says English is required language
By Steve DiMeglio, USA TODAY
For many years, the LPGA tour has impressed upon its membership the significance of communicating efficiently in English. By the end of 2009, it will be mandatory.
The LPGA is adopting a policy that will require its member golfers to speak English or face suspension. All players who have been on the tour for two years could be suspended if they fail to pass an oral evaluation of their English proficiency starting at the end of the 2009 season. The tour announced the policy to its South Korean membership in a mandatory meeting Aug. 20 and has spoken to many players from other countries.

GAME ON! BLOG: Speaking LPGA's language of choice
There are 121 foreign players from 26 countries, 45 from South Korea.
"We're focusing on the fact that we're in the sports entertainment business and we have to interact with fans and sponsors," LPGA deputy commissioner Libba Galloway said. "We want to emphasize to our players that they need to be approachable.
"This is not meant to be punitive in any way. There are very few players who don't speak English. We don't think suspensions will happen, but if they do, we're not going to say, 'Boom, go home and try again next year.' We'll work with them on identifying areas for improvement."
The tour in 2007 established a program that includes tutoring services available to players and language-learning software from the Rosetta Stone Language Program.
"I think it's important to make an effort to learn English," said Se Ri Pak, a Hall of Famer and pioneer for South Korean players. "But I don't think you should get suspended or lose your status. Maybe fines."
The policy is a "bold statement," said David Carter, a sports marketing consultant in Los Angeles.
"I had to step back and say, 'That's pretty drastic,' " he said. "But from a business standpoint, they need to do that. The ability to secure sponsors is a function of how well you're known and how well you communicate."
