I personally would think it would be a great tradition for the sponser of the Colonial to give the best LPGA player an exemption every year.

Great idea. Only die hard golf fans give a hoot about this tournament anyway. With Annika, or any other top LPGA player in the field, it becomes a media event. I think its good for the game. After all, the PGA wouldn’t have these inflated purses if it wasn’t for TV and Corporate Sponsors. So if you can’t get Tiger in your tournament, you need to come up with a gimmick.

I'd like to see this in other sports as well.....how bout having Susan Sarandon go up against Lenox Lewis in boxing or Jane Fonda going a series at running back against the Tampa Bay Bucks defense.....
