Sponsors of tournaments each get a certain number of exemptions that they are allowed to give to
whomever they please.
Sorenstam did not take the place of a card holding player. She did not sue the Tour or Sponsor to force them to let her play. She was invited by the people who pay for the tournament and assume all the risk.
Exactly, which is why I am rooting for her instead of against her. None of this whiny liberal forcing her way on through the courts.
