I think that the women should have an equal chance and be able to play with the top players of each gender.

I think like basketball and other sports men should play with men and women with women. Maybe in huge tournaments or something women can play if they make the cut but other than that no.

I think some people in this thread need to open their eyes a little. Yes some sports should not combine men and women into one league, but golf is a different type of sport.

In games like tennis we see men and women playing together all the time. The same should apply for golf. Golf is a sport where physical contact is not required and anyone can play who can swing a club. If Annika can outswing some men, why can't she compete?

This isn't the 50s guys.

If men and women played at an equal skill level, that'd be great. But, men are better than women at golf. That's not meant to be offensive to any women, but to see it any other way would be ignorant. Also, by combining the tours, there would only be half the events, half the winners, and half the excitement we get from the seperated tours as it is.

In my opinion women should be considered equal to men. They have gotten past segration years ago and shouldnt have to face it on the course so if they are good enough then they should be able to play with whomever they want.

Half the tours? Half the excitement?

Not sure what tours you watch tiger, but no one watches the women. Not even other women. Sports is something that is primarily marketed and watched by men. So it is not surprising that women sports often get overlooked. Not too many women are interested in seeing fellow members of their sex play golf.

Because of this...the best women players should be allowed to play the big PGA events...what are the men afraid of if they aren't as good?
