Dan Jenkins, a columnist for Golf Digest, ran a column in the magazine's January 2004 edition entitled, ¡°Golf Haters Among Us.¡± In it, one can see how some Americans view the LPGA, in which a large number of Korean golfers, such as Pak Se-ri, Grace Park, and Han Hee-won, are active.

Below are the 10 reason Jenkins selected:
1. Tournament winners who don't speak English.
2. Tournament winners who aren't Annika.
3. A winner who is not, at the very least, Juli Inkster.
4. Yeah, fine, but Natalie don't ever win.
5. A tournament named for a product you'd never buy.
6. Tournament winners who weigh more than Craig Stadler.
7. Too many tournaments in towns that have a bypass.
8. Tournament winners who refuse to speak English.
9. "I think she's Korean, although she could be from Bangkok, or maybe it's the Philippines."
10. So, they just decreed it a major or what?
