No, language skills have nothing to do with the game of golf.

Yes, they're not only athletes, they're on-camera celebrities.

Only if all American players are required to learn Korean.

Sure, and while we're at it, let's make college athletes speak it, too.

I am not that familiar with the LPGA or Tennis BUT if the players are all from America then ABSOLUTELY!  This is America and we speak English.  If another country has a tournment the THEIR players whould speak thier language!  Players from other countries, of course, do not have to speak another countries language.

The LPGA is a private club, and they should be able to make any rules they like. If the golfers don't like the rule, they should start a new golf league where they can make different rules. If the LPGA was run by the gov't, or funded with gov't money, then it would be wrong for them to make this rule, but as a private organization they have the right to make their own rules. They also have to face the consequences of their decision (such as losing members and fans), but that is part of the whole freedom-responsibility deal.
