Abstract

This case provides a history of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) and examines the reasons for the gender pay gap in professional sports. The case protagonist, the commissioner of the LPGA, wrestles with the opportunities and challenges the LPGA currently faces, including developing alternate revenue opportunities, withstanding challenges from competitors, and increasing opportunities for women on and off the golf course.
