While not as exercised about it as Sabia and a few others, I did originally oppose it because of the usual suspects who are behind these stunts. Of course it was a big sales and publicity stunt. And it worked great. The PGA rules do not specify same-sex members and also could have invited the Pope to play... although I've heard he has a bad slice.

The problem is that these same Annika boosters would cry foul if certain male golfers, who were not good enough to make the PGA, wanted to "test themselves" on the LPGA. In short there was an agenda behind the Annika scam. It was the same people who were outraged about The Masters's exclusionary (and thoroughly constitutional) policy. Let's hope that this is the last stunt of its kind. It proved nothing.

This will certainly happen. If there can be no legal (read, legal precident, just established by the courts) reason a woman cannot play in a mens tournament, what possible reason could there be not to apply the same legal reasoning to a man's request to play in a LPGA tournament.

Remember, there's MONEY to be made for the first man ranked 20,016 in the PGA to play and win on the LPGA.
