If she were to win....say goodbye to the LPGA, as we know it. What happens to the 100's of woman who lose jobs because they cannot compete on the PGA. Most of them hit the ball 200-230 and would have no chance to compete with the men.

While the LPGA might stay around...they would lose even more sponsors and would make playing the LPGA lower than the "men's" future league.

It is not like the woman do not have their own. Like someone else stated that I read on this that it is not like in high school were there are no woman's football or wrestling teams and they either play with the boys or not at all. She has her own tour and if she wants to see how she would do against the men...well than play some more exhibitions straight up from their tees and not as partners but without and see how she does that should give her a feel if she can compete.

What is to stop a few guys from deciding to challenge to play on their tour? This would be so grand for their sport also. You would have people like me a 0-5 handicap thinking we can go compete with the woman. It is not like I would give two shits what people think. If I can win a couple of tournaments or even just finish in the top 10 in a handful of events, I will make more than what I am making now doing something that would be awesome and the more money I won....I could get rid of my day job and put all my time towards golf and who is to say I could not move to the men's tour. There are just so many problems with this but you would probably be closed minded to this like I am to a woman playing on the PGA.

I already cook almost every night and my wife already drives when she wants so spare me how we are all men who are living in the 50's and want the woman in the kitchen and just pushing out babies because it just shows who the real close minded person is.
