You are the anomaly. The NBA vs the WNBA, the PGA vs LPGA, so on and so forth, wages are lower because the viewership is FAR lower. This dictates the sponsorship and therefore payout. TV sponsorship is a lot of it, as are major corporations.
There is very little interest in woman’s sports in general. This is not sexist, this is pure fact. Until there is a way to draw the viewers, the wages will be lower. Maybe they play a great fundamental game, but that doesn’t sell tickets to anybody outside of the purists. Golf has a small enough following as it is, that’s with the Mega stars on the PGA. I can’t name 20 female golfers on tour today and I’ll bet I know more than 99% of the world. The crazy shit Tiger could do, the shots Phil could create, the dominance of Jordan in his Major run, the international appeal and raw power of Rory all draw viewers. Getting up and down from the middle of the fairway isn’t all that fun. This is why the men get paid and the women don’t.
