There aren't really any big names right not and some of the Americans are struggling so viewership struggles. Americans are very much pro-USA when it comes to viewership I guess.
I find it fascinating the number of non-American female golfers on the LPGA vs. The number of non American male golfers. Not sure what the reasoning for that is, you would expect all things being equal that the numbers would be roughly the same. And maybe there are if you look at the lists top to bottom, maybe it's the golfers in the very top of each tour that are what stand out. It just seems when you watch an LPGA tour vs the PGA there seem to be way more US flags on the PGA tour when the leaderboard is shown.
