How do putting stats compare between men and women?
Somewhat serious question... Why aren't women better at golf?
Clubhead speed allows even the average male pro to hit shots that most female pros aren't capable of.

LK is there significant difference in the R&D for equipment designed for women. I would imagine there is.

I mean, even ignoring the fact that PGA Tour greens are typically much, much more difficult than LPGA tour greens are, you only have to hit the 27th best putter in the LPGA to get to a 1.8 putts per GIR rating. The PGA Tour had 140 guys under 1.8 last year.
Tiger money has simply changed the men's game more than the women's. The talent all the way through the Web.com tour is just unreal now in men's golf. Women's golf just isn't in the same universe.
Of course there is. An equipment company is going to sink the bulk of their R&D budget into equipment for the majority of their customer base. Clubhead technology isn't going to matter much from male to female players at the elite level. What will matter is the shafts being put into those clubs. There are so many more options out there for guys.
Real football is by far the greatest sport and there isn't even a close runner up.
True. But the LPGA is in way better shape now than it was 5 years ago. When the recession hit and Sorenstam and Ochoa retired, they lost a bunch of tournaments and had no real stars. The new commish has done a great job essentially combining the tours some and adding a number of events. That and Wie actually playing good golf (despite the strange putting style), and the emergence of folks like Lewis, Lexi, Ko, Petterson, Tseng and Inbee over the last few years have combined to make the women's game much better than it was.
