So just in a pure numbers sense, i think the PGA is way better than the LPGA.
Sigh. No way. The girls on the lpga tour are the best women golfers on the planet, and the dynamic of how and why they got there is pretty much identical to the pga tour.
Hell, you couldn't give some random guy some training and have him make the LPGA tour. I've played plenty of lol 6200 yard courses and I don't break par at any of them, and I've been as low as a 2.1 handicap and I've played golf all of my life.

Also, just thinking about it, this doesn't make sense. If 125 men are on the PGA tour and 125 women are on the LPGA tour, then there are 125/1,000,000 on the PGA tour and 125/1,000,000 on the LPGA tour.
I don't actually know how many people are on the LPGA tour (if it is 125 or less), but either way it's just a silly comment. If the PGA arbitrarily limited its membership to 90, the reverse would suddenly be true (assuming the lpga is at 125). I think what you are trying to say is that the 500th best male golfer in the world is waaaaay better than the 500th best women's golfer in the world within their own tour, which is probably kind of true. It's still kind of hard to tell because we are obviously conditioned to respect a guy who can shoot 70 over a girl who shoots 77, even though it's a whole different sport basically.
