Some of the competition has crossed into the realm of endorsements, which are not widely available to L.P.G.A. players.
In the previous decade, Sorenstam and Webb were among a small number who were paid to endorse products.
These days, several players have earning opportunities, even those without victories. Natalie Gulbis, 23, has a swimsuit calendar, has starred in a reality television show on the Golf Channel and has six endorsement deals.
Although Erica Blasberg, 21, is not a full-fledged member of the L.P.G.A. Tour, she has a splashy Web site and sponsor deals with Cleveland and Puma.
Pressel, who has yet to win on the Tour, does television commercials for Callaway Golf with Sorenstam and Phil Mickelson, who have won a combined 96 tournaments on the L.P.G.A. and the PGA Tours.
Wie, who is neither an L.P.G.A. member nor a winner on the Tour, earns an estimated $ 10 million in endorsements. She helps Nike with her outfits and may never appear twice in the same one. At last year's United States Women's Open, Wie, Pressel and Creamer arrived at the first tee in shades of pink.
"When you're 19 years old, you want to look cute," Klein said. "It's, Who has the best clothing contract?"
Creamer parlayed her rookie success into name recognition. She recently held a retreat in Bradenton, Fla., with eight of her sponsors, from ADT Security Services to the Royal Bank of Scotland. As Creamer said with a smile, "It was all about me."
Her agent, Jay Burton of IMG, said the chill toward Creamer last year was partly because of the feeling that "she was stealing the limelight."
Creamer said she noticed the silence or the halfhearted greetings as she walked onto a putting green. "It was rough the first couple of events," she said.
"If anything, it made me feel good," she added. "They knew I was a threat on the golf course."
Webb said she did not resent the ambition of young players, on the course or off it, but the attention they received early in the season fired her up.
"I did feel like I was a little forgotten," said Webb, who won the Kraft Nabisco Championship in April. "Obviously, I wasn't playing well, but it wasn't that long ago when I was at the top of the game. I used that as a little bit of motivation, not only from what was being said and how the Tour was being promoted, but I wanted to show them how good I could play. I didn't want them to be in my group and be like, How did she get in the Hall of Fame?"
