While the PGA Tour remains moored in the U.S., the LPGA starts with two events in Hawaii, one in Singapore and another in Mexico before reaching the mainland the last weekend in March. It has three weeks in Mexico and single stops in Canada, England, France, Japan and Korea. Next spring Thailand gets back into the mix. In 2004 only five LPGA events were played outside the United States. That's a lot more exposure in some key markets that even the PGA Tour does not penetrate, and just about every equipment maker wants at least a small piece of the pie.
