I think VJ had a point.... by her playing, she is possibly taking a spot fomr an up-and-coming MALE professional golfer. That is their business, ifsome guy does not make the cut, because of her - that is money out of his walet.
OF course you can say, well he shuold have been better - and that is true if there was only one tour, but there is a female tour where female professinals earn money - so would it be ok for average male golfers to go over there and knock women out of getting a paycheck?
It is a publicity stunt by those putting on the tour and the sponsors - including VISA....
Personally I think she is going to get stomped, I read that she played with Maddox, a pitcher for the Braves and though he is a pro athlete and a good golfer, HE BEAT HER.... I think the males will kick her ass, I hope she does not make the cut.
And before anyone jumps on me saying that I am anti-woman, that is bullshit... If there was only one tour, I think it would be fine for women to compete. But they should have to earn a spot by qualifying like any man has to...

ROFLMAO!!
If I was an advertiser of this tournament I'd be doing cartwheels because I'm likely going to get some SERIOUS bang for my buck on advertising. How do you think the prize money for tournaments is set? Better numbers means more money and if she plays well here and enters a few tournaments as Tiger suggests ALL those men are going to benefit from higher ratings which lead to happier advertisers which leads to bigger purses.
And you better get used to it because there is a female phenom that is only like 12-13 years old that is already driving the ball almost 300 yards that in the next few years will only get better and soon be kicking mens asses all over the links. Some consider her to be a bigger prodigy at golf than Tiger.
