Message: [QUOTE="Blakeon18, post: 2387056, member: 35"] There is not 'strict segregation' of the golf tours. The PGA allows women to play in their events. Women can qualify just as men can....and women can receive sponsor invitations. Annika got one...Wiesy quite a few. The LPGA does discriminate against men....no man can play in any LPGA event. Thank heavens for that....it would destroy the tour. When Annika got her sponsor's invitation there were some unnecessary snide comments from a few men....notably VJ Singh. Annika played respectably....71-74...missed the cut on a course she cherry-picked to suit her game....and as always handled herself beautifully. Her quotes after the 36 holes...I may be paraphrasing a tad here: She said 'I'm not as tough as I thought I was'...and 'I'm going back to play where I belong'. That last one....yikes! IMO: Michelle's playing in multiple men's events delayed her progress. [/QUOTE]
