This guy has it all wrong. The men’s tour will not have a lady qualified to compete on the PGA. But not because it is wrong for one to.

Annika beat 11 guys who played the worst golf that they can play. While Annika was focused beyond any LPGA major event she could have entered. She is in another class on the LPGA and knows how to handle tournament golf better than most of the 11 guys she beat.

On a good day for those 11 men, compared to her best day, they could beat her by 10 shots.

Baring a woman of extremely freakish strength and determination, there will be no women qualified to play on the PGA. If one that can qualify comes along, let her play. Don't let her take a golf cart though.

I wonder how the Royal and Ancient weighs in on this.

which is why the LPGA rules require you be BORN a woman and not surgically altered to apear like one.

Intersting point about the best woman was able to compete with the lowest men.

I see this as good pr stunt. It secured her name recognition and endorsements for her as the most recognized woman golfer. It was a good business decision. I look to see more "sponsor exceptions" in future PGA games. That is unless the rule is eliminated to ensure ability only play. (she did tee off the mens tee right?)
