  They try to please the majority. It wouldn't be cheap to provide for left handers.

  I'm confused by your reply piztaker.  

  WGT is virtual!  A little programming, some left handed avatars, and, a pro shop offering left handed clubs.  What's expensive?  The programming?

  We the left handed, are not a minority anymore.  Think Bubba Watson, Phil Mickleson, etc.  

  It seems odd to swing from the Right side.  Perspective is different for us lefties.  lol

  Although the clubs and avatars are virtual, I doubt the programmers are, and any extra work would surely mean extra pay. There would need to be a lot of work to arrange left and right handed golfers singly, let alone with both on the same game. I'm sure WGT has more pressing matters to sort out.

  As for your comment that you are not the minority anymore, I checked stats and found no more than 12% are left handed around the world

  I couldn't agree more.  Being left handed AND disabled, I get discriminated against all the time.  Most annoying.

  This isn't intended to offend anyone and my apologies in advance if it does but a left handed golf swing always looks very unnatural to me.  Even when a top player such as Phil Mickelson takes a swing it just looks wrong somehow.  I guess it's because we are used to seeing right handed golfers most of the time.

  Does a left handed golfer find a right hander's swing looks strange?
