And how does golf fit in overall in the sports landscape? Joanna Coe, who's competing this week at PGA Frisco, is encouraged.

"Golf is in. Golf is cool. Golf is better than ever."

This Major Championship will feature a purse tied for the highest on the LPGA Tour, new technology enhancements for the world’s best players to elevate their game, one of the best fields in women’s golf and the most comprehensive broadcast coverage of any event on the LPGA Tour.
