Tiger is a supporter of Annaki because he's afraid of the media frenzy and grilling that Vijay got.
Dragon2fire, It's not about the money. It's about CAN she. Women are not physically strong enough to play on 7100 yard courses. Where every male is hitting a driver - 8 iron to a 450 yard hole, Annaki is hitting a driver - 4 iron. Maybe a 3 iron if she can't go all out on the drive. She can't compete hitting 3 irons and 4 irons all day. They are much less forgiving, give you very little spin to stick a ball. It would be neat to see a woman compete, and do it well. If she wanted money, the mens tour isn't the place to try and get it. She woulden't even come close.
She didn't earn anything. She got to play, cause of who she was. She's not an old timer, who got invited for everyone to see play, she's not a q schooler, or an amateur who earned the spot through qualifying. She got invited because she's Annaki. I don't honestly care either way, I don't play out there. But, I just hope she doesn't look like a fool out there going 10 over and getting cut.
But who knows, maybe she hits a 4 iron the same as Tiger and Phil hit 8 irons.
I wish her luck though, maybe she'll make some noise, I can turn the TV on Sunday, and she'll be up the leaderboard, but I"m not holding my breath for it.
