Wie also responded to Jean Van de Velde's call in ober to allow men

"My perspective on this is that the British Open is not called the
Men's British Open, it is the British Open," she said.
"The PGA, it's called the Professional Golfers' Association. There is

There is a men's only tour? Where? I wasn't aware that there was
a tour restricted to men only. What's it called? Same for the Ryder
Cup. It's run by the PGA. As far as I know they have no restriction
on women qualifying for it. The PGA has alot of female members.

The Ryder Cup is a PGA of America event. Other than the PGA Championship,
the qualifying events are PGA Tour events. There are no female PGA Tour
members. If Miss Wie wants to play Ryder Cup, she has to tee it with the big
boys. She as yet to show she has the game to play what would be top twenty
or twenty-five PGA Tour golf.

Is it a requirement for every member of those teams to be PGA Tour
members?

Probably not, but since the majority of qualifying events are PGA tour
events the players have to PGA tour members to play in enough events to
qualify.
If a non PGA tour member won 1 major in 2006, they would be out of top 25 in
Ryder Cup points. One 2006 major would be top 15 hoping for a Captain's
pick..

Clear, obvious and stupid. Do you think she wouldn't have tried to
qualify for the US Open if it were called the Mens US Open?

She's perfectly accurate in her description as to why men aren't
allowed on the LPGA, but women are allowed on the PGA.
Whether or not it's right is a different matter.

I'm all for it. Let her qualify like every other man does, on the
qualifying
tour, or by placing well enough in events in which she gets a sponsor's
exemption. Hey, I'm 100% behind any person, man or woman, who qualifies
based on success in qualifying competition.
Perhaps to prepare for that she could try to win a single LPGA event of

Sponsor's exemptions are about "who can make money for the sponsor".
She does that better than any other out there. Maybe even better
than Tiger and Phil did when they were using them.
The whole concept that whomever is first on the list of non-qualifiers
should get a sponsor's exemption is silly. If that was what they
were for, they would eliminate the exemptions and open up one more
spot.

She has tried - but everybody else on the PGA Tour has not.

Always funny to listen to women gripe about "equality."
WHAT... Men playing on the womens tour?
Now wait a minute... we want equality, but that's not FAIR
(read: we don't want to give up the perks of preferential treatment)

No, she petitioned the LPGA to let her play. But that doesn't have
anything to do with what Wie said anyway.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict
that Tiger Woods, or Ernie Els, would WIN 9
out of 10 LPGA events if they competed against
an all woman field. Annika would win 2-3. Lorena
maybe 1.
And Michelle Wie would not win ANY.

To be fair to Michelle, it's difficult to win when between 11 and 13
out of ten events are already accounted for.

Not that I'm aware of. For one thing it isn't clear she wants or
needs to
be an LPGA member at all. It could in fact hinder her ability to play
the
other tours that she does.

Well, in conjunction with an R&A event I believe.

Possibly the Masters and the US Open, maybe the Open Championship
as well. I suspect you could probably win one of those 3 as well as the
PGA and be fairly assured of at least a captains pick.

However, you do not have to be a TOUR member to be on the PGA team.
In fact, I think you might have to be a PGA member, but I'm not sure.

Nancy Lopez played in a PGA tour event or two. She got
trounced.
Annika played one, didn't make the cut.
That level of distinction, being able to challenge the men, has
historically been tolerated only by the most distinguished women
athletes. They typically do better than some of the men, but not
nearly well enough to be competitive for victories.
Michelle Wie has yet to establish she is even going to be a
decent women's professional golfer. She'd rather get crushed
competing against men than try to win against the best women
players in the world.
Don't try to tell me there is not going to be payback for Wie
down the road when she ultimately does most of her competing
on the LPGA tour. After another 1-2 years, everyone is going to
get the message that Wie might need to try 100 times to
barely make one cut, and that just ceases to be entertaining
after a while. Then she will go to the LPGA where the
regulars will hold a grudge against her for demeaning their
sport.

Huh?
Here are the top 2 Men, top 2 women, and top girl's Sagarin ratings,
in order.
Tiger Woods 67.49
Michelle Wie 67.88
Ernie Els 68.41
Annika Sorenstam 68.64
Lorena Ochoa 68.95
That qualifies as "decent".

Excuse you? Not for such inanity. He is selling a service, and not
to the general public. As I said, there is no reason for him to jack
with figures. Golfweek just publishes what his ratings are.
He also rates almost every college sports teams, and is published by
USA Today for most of them. He doesn't have an axe to grind,
especially about golf. He may be wrong...but to suggest that he
"conjures" figures for some underlying reason is just idiotic.

Are you sure about that?
"Sorenstam will be the first woman to play a PGA Tour event
since Babe Zaharias in 1945 when she begins play May 22
at Colonial Country Club."

"If she can't handle the heat, go back to Junior High School."
Heat? Heat? Heat from who? Idiots like you on this DB? Do you really
think she gives a crap what you think? Her statements were acurate and
well expressed, unlike yours.

If the US Open had a stipulation the way the LPGA does that it's a
men's only tournament, no.
What Wie said is completely accurate, and from what I read, she wasn't
making a judgement about the tours, just stating matter-of-factly on
the criteria on playing on the tour.
You can argue that the rules are hypocritical and unfair, but it
doesn't make Wie's statement any less accurate.

Are you kidding? Didn't she already sue the LPGA, because they would not
let a girl play?
