Well everytime they talk about it on TV, they refer to it as the "Mens PGA Tour".

In that case, the PGA Tour should make a rule, or get the LPGA to open up to men.

Either way, I think its unfair that it can only go one way.

I'm not sure if it's a publicity stunt, or about money, or if its really just about showing they can keep up with the guys. But I don't think the tours should be mixed. Like I said, create a couple of special tourneys or something like that.

It's about the attention and marketing deals.

Nobody cares about the LPGA. But a woman on the PGA is a spectacle, so she'll get shown on TV more, and therefore her sponsors will get their get shown.
