INCHEON, South Korea (Reuters) - The jet set lifestyle of the LPGA Tour can be tough on players as they criss-cross continents and adjust to time zones, but the international swing has unearthed incredible talent and helps the circuit grow, American Lexi Thompson said on Tuesday.
While the PGA Tour rarely ventures outside U.S. borders, the women's circuit is hosting one-third of its 33 official money events on foreign shores this season, taking the road show as far afield as Australia, South Korea and Singapore.
The bulk of the Tour's 200 active players are international -- 127 representing 28 countries.
