I agree, she was a circus act. The President of the women's tour said they would not let a professional man play on their tour.

This chick can play the mens tour for ten years and never win.
Put Tiger on the women's tour and he can win at will for the next 20-30 years perhaps straight.

Silly publicity stunt.

Same for most of the men on the tour.

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.

The PGA is NOT, repeat, NOT a mens tour! The PGA has not now, nor never had a gender requirement for play! In fact a woman played on the tour in the 40s.... If you want to vent, at least get your facts straight.
