Not to take anything away from Korda, but Scottie's 5th start was a runner-up and his scoring average is one full shot less than hers. He also is 15 more shots under par than her in the 5 starts. It would be easy to Google this too, July.

He also plays championship courses at about a thousand yards longer than the courses Nelly plays on.

You can't take that into account when comparing men and women golfers though. Of course the professional men hit it farther. If they played head-to-head she would play forward tees. The point to which she responded was about dominance.

Scottie Sheffler would literally win every start on an LPGA course against LPGA players. Nelly Korda wouldnt make a cut on the PGA Tour. Its ridiculous to even argue which is more impressive.

No, it isn't. That's what's great about golf is that the playing field can be equalized. Of course elite men would beat elite women in any sport head-to-head. Even July isn't arguing that. The post was about dominance in professional golf, and Nelly is pretty damn dominant right now. You can't argue that.

If this discussion was about a winning streak in swimming, would she actually use Lia Thomas as an example of woman dominance?

She golfs in a bathrobe?

Yes, because she believes Trans Women Are Women.

It’s impressive that she isn’t Korean.

I get it's about dominance, which is why I made mention of the differences in course setups: winning 4 out of 5 on PGA Tour lengths and conditions against a PGA Tour field is, IMO, more dominant than winning 5 of 5 at 6400 yards against a less impressive LPGA field, despite the technical statistical difference. Both are dominant, one just more so than the other, and it is certainly not as clear cut in favor of Korda as July makes it out to be.

Once you are out of the tee box it's equalized more or less, no? 50 ft putt is a 50 ft putt. Or is it that first drive it really it because dudes and chicks dig the long ball?

I tend to think the courses overall are easier. Not just the distances. Play Augusta with shorter tee boxes on par 4 and 5s and let's see.

I didn't know they played different courses. More research!

I would hope that aside from strength an elite woman golfer could play a tougher course similar to a man.

Not if they are playing the same tees. The men would be hitting short irons into the greens while the women would be hitting long iron or hybrids.

I only go once a year if that. I'm a grip it and rip it player. My dad is a pretty good golfer. We always disagreed on grips and as I got older my boob adjustment on approach was too much for him to see.

Big boobs are an impediment to golf.

Nelly is one of the longer hitters out there on the LPGA. It is not at all ridiculous to argue that with her A game working, she could make a cut at a PGA tournament. She'd never win, but she may be able to finish top 30-40 depending on the course and the field.


That said, the correct line here is Prime Tiger >>> Scheffler's current run >>>>>>> Korda
