This poster promotes an all-female golf tournament held at the Hakusan Country Club in Ishikawa, Japan, with collective prize money of forty-million yen. The winner of the 1990 competition was Hisako Higuchi, the first Asian-born golfer of any gender to win a major championship. In 2003, she also became the first Japanese player inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. As in all of LeRoy Neiman’s posters, the spectators always embody the “ideal” viewer—no one is ever bored, unengaged, or unattractive. They are the perfect audience to offset and elevate the star of the scene.
