I'm admittedly biased but this article and others like it are frustrating. Despite limited paragraphs, the writer manages to still find room to refer to Lexi Thompson’s presence at the Shriners Children's Open as 'silly', 'highly questionable' and 'without logic.' Lexi's article-acknowledged recent strong form and decade of excellence leading up to this event are no match against the writer's unbridled cynicism, ultimately deriding her presence as a 'lethargic sideshow.' The author has the wherewithal to reference past similar efforts by Michelle Wie and Annika Sorenstam, but only to reduce the impact of those efforts to 'heartwarming' or 'interesting'. Forget that the great Lydia Ko has referred to Annika's start as one of the inspirational moments in her life. Never mind the 800,000-strong increase in women golfers since 2019 (shortly after #LPGA pro Brittany Lincicome played on the PGA TOUR). Why focus on these or any other potentially positive outcomes, right?No one knows how Lexi will do. But I do know that young girls and others curious about the game are going to see this. Many will be inspired. And, ultimately, more golfers are going to be created as a result. If you love the game, that should be more than enough reason to root for her this week. #sponsorship #golfbusiness #sportsbiz #brandmarketing
