by Robert Carlton

World Golf tournaments are some of the most popular golf events today, as well as Junior Golf tournaments. Keeping younger golfers interested in the game is important the future of golf. Without the interest of junior golfers the professional sport would, gradually, dwindle and fade.

The British and U.S. Open are two additional major golf events, as well as the Ryder Cup which is played every other year. The Ryder Cup is slightly unique since it is played between teams of golfers from the United States and Europe. Another event is the Presidents Cup which is played every two years.

The Ladies Professional Golf (LPGA) tournament is another amazing golf event to watch. It is important that young girls have a variety of sport heroes to admire. Included in the ladies tournament scheduling are the Ladies European Tour, Ladies Senior Tour and the Futures Tour. Although ladies golf has existed for quite sometime, its popularity has grown and the ladies professional association has certainly not disappointed its golf fans.

In its most recent tournaments, the LPGA is leaning toward creating a more competitive structure so that the prize for first place is the most extraordinary price in the history of ladies golf. Every LPGA golf event offered to the public and its fans improves each time.
