LPGA Players Reject In-Round Twitter Updates

I’m sure you remember LPGA Commissioner Carolyn Bivens saying that she would love to see LPGA Tour players posting to their Twitter pages during tournament rounds. If not, here is her quote from the original article:
“I’d love it if players Twittered during the middle of a round,” Bivens said in an interview, according to Bloomberg News. “The new media is very important to the growth of golf and we view it as a positive, and a tool to be used.”
As you can imagine, the overall reaction to Commissioner Bivens’ idea has been decidedly negative. In fact, in all the discussions that I have read/heard on the subject there are very few people who even defend the idea.
However, the majority of LPGA players have yet to comment on whether they would support the use of Twitter during a competitive round. I have a feeling that will change now that Paula Creamer made her feelings known.
Earlier today Paula posted this on her Twitter page:
“I will not be twittering in my round. It should not happen in any sport. The players have already told the tour no way.”
So, according to Creamer, the players have rejected the idea of in-round Twitter Updates.
