Annika Sorenstam

But hasn't she outgrown the LPGA?

 

She's taking advantage of who she is, and for that I don't blame her, but there are dozens of pro golfers who need every chance they can get to make some money. I'm serious, there are some poor ass pro golfers. She is taking their spot in a one shot deal. This isn't one of those charity tournaments, this is the real deal and I hate it for the golfer who qualified, and should be playing, but can't because someone from the ladies tour took their spot.

 

If she's outgrown the LPGA, then Tiger has outgrown the PGA.

 

I don't know what to think about it really. Aren't the sponsors exeptions for people who don't qualify? How would that take away from someone who qualifies?

 

I agree, I feel sorry for a lot of golfers that play with Tiger. Usually, they are just trying to play for second place at best.

 

None of this should be based on who needs the money. It should be based on talent. Does Tiger NEED more money?

I would be upset too if she TOOK my spot. Did she take it or earn it?

 

QCH, she got a sponsors exemption. This would not have gone to a struggling pro. These exemptions usually go to a local celeb or to someone that will draw some interest. The Colonial is also a invitational. You get invited. If you don't get an invite you don't play.

She do as well as she can. In the end it draws more attention to the event.

 

A lot of this is male ego, alot of them are going to be bruised, like every one that finishes below her. Unfortunately they can't crash her at the start the way Winston cup drivers do whenever a talented woman finds a sponsor.

 

Outgrown or become bored? I'm not sure. Her domination of the LPGA is very similar to Tiger Woods' domination of the PGA a couple of years ago. Is it too much to expect her to stay within her domain and dominate the LPGA for years to come? In all fairness, where does Tiger Woods have to go to pursue higher ambitions if he becomes bored with the PGA? He doesn't have the luxury of a higher standard upon which to measure his abilities. Therefore, not placing blame on her as a professional or a woman, but I do think she has created a discriminitory situation by which all PGA members have the right to reject her. It also opens up a pandora's box whereas some deserving members of the PGA may be excluding from playing in future tournaments only because of Sponsorship exemptions.

 

Someone could launch a well placed drive and forget to yell FORE!!
