If you win a lot on the JLPGA, you shoot up the world rankings. Given that Ji-Yai will still be playing a dozen LPGA events, as well, most of them with top fields, good performances there can boost her even higher.The Constructivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242149985581771922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198629951037494295.post-10939714335216591412013-12-22T02:49:02.984-05:002013-12-22T02:49:02.984-05:00The earning potential on the LET is significantly ...The earning potential on the LET is significantly lower compared to the JLPGA, though Tony. So, Lee-Anne's quest to compete against the world's best may be a quest for more cash.<br /><br />She played in 20 LET events in 2013, finished 2nd on the order of merit, and only pocketed the equivalent of 300k USD.<br /><br />Contrast that with Rikako Morita, the JLPGA money list winner, who won an equivalent of over a million dollars.<br /><br />Still less than the LPGA, but not too shabby. I think this is one of the biggest reasons many of the JLPGA's finest stay put, the world class players can earn world class money.<br /><br />Whereas on the LET, the gap is so large, that the very best need to move on.thejamierbelyeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11887793198711062156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198629951037494295.post-44564453405052996842013-12-21T23:01:25.941-05:002013-12-21T23:01:25.941-05:00Wow the Jiyai news is a big surprise to me.

I know she had an off year last year, but her game did not appear to be in that bad a shape.<br />With all due respect to the JLPGA, this is a step backward, the LPGA is the place to play. Look at Lee-Anne Pace, arguably the best player on the LET the last 5 years, still wanting to give it another try against the world's best.<br /><br />As far as Momoko goes, she almost lost her full time card this year. Cutting back more might be the end of her LPGA career.<br />Tony Jesselli (Tonyj5)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10928776936875684588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198629951037494295.post-38093695287928447682013-12-21T22:53:43.196-05:002013-12-21T22:53:43.196-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tony Jesselli (Tonyj5)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10928776936875684588noreply@blogger.com
