It is given that that the earnings for the PGA winner rose by a modest 67% in the decade from 1970 to 1980, but the earnings for the top LPGA player rose by 400%. The two numbers (67% and 400%) can then be compared as the men’s winning have always exceeded women’s winnings.
Thus, even through women’s winnings increase more strongly than men’s winnings. But this doesn’t imply that the women’s winnings are much higher than men’s winnings.
