Women on the PGA Tour

            
             I believe in many reasons on why a woman should not be permitted to play on the PGA Tour. Its not that they aren't good enough to play with the men, but that they have their own tour and why can't they just stick with that and be happy about what they have. Back when gold had first started women couldn't even step foot onto a golf course, let alone play in an event. They have said that the real meaning of golf is said to been called "Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden" and this was based over in Scotland where golf had first originated. .
             There have been only been two cases of women trying to play on the PGA Tour that I know of, and the most resent of the two which came in May of 2003. When a lady by the name of Annika Sorenstam mad the announcement that she was going to compete in a PGA Tour event the headlines went ballistic and so did the media went frantic over this lady trying to compete with the men. I do honestly commend here for trying to do something that ordinary women usually don't try and do. In this day and age men are mostly bigger and stronger than women in general. Yes there may be those he-man women that all they do is live, eat and drink lifting, but they are not a normal, everyday women. .
             The thing about Annika playing on a tour even, some players withdrew from the event. I don't know if they were scared to play in the event and lose to a girl or what was going through there minds but the needed to step up to the plate and take whatever challenges that were thrown at them. That's what Annika did at the tournament but she didn't exceed at what she wanted to fulfill. When playing in any tour event the main thing that you want to accomplish is making it past the cut and into the weekend. When making it into the weekend, that's where all the big money comes from. Its not like she didn't know what was at stake for her, she has played in many Tour events on the LPGA Tour and she knows that the best of the best compete on the weekend.
