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.

They may refer to it as the men's tour, because everyone who's earned their card is male.

As far as making rules, the PGA has no sway over the LPGA, and can't dictate terms to them. They also don't seem to really have a problem with the way the rules are now, so I don't see a change happening anytime soon.

As far as getting upset at a women who hasn't won anything yet getting an exemption to play a PGA event, where's the outrage for exemptions for people like Bill Murray who occasionally get sponser exemptions?

If they ask her to play, and she wants to play, I have no problem with her playing. I'm not sure why people get mad at her for accepting invitations.
