[QUOTE=Dr Winston O Boogie jr;1210579]I don't know, but generally if you win an event on the PGA tour you are invited to play in The Masters. so, if a woman played on the PGA Tour and won and event or in one of these other ways
Qualifications for Masters Invitation | Masters I would expect that she'd be invited.
Women have been allowed to attempt to qualify for the US Open, I don't know about the other majors.
The point is that Tiger Woods was for a long time the best golfer in the world. An argument could be made that he's the best golfer in history.
That's the best period. Not the best woman or the best senior or best junior or best amateur, simply the best of all. In my humble opinion, in order to call someone the next Tiger Woods they would have to have competed against the best without a qualification.
It has nothing to do with gender. I would say the same for a senior golfer who won twenty events and all four majors in one year on the Champions Tour. They may be the best in their category, but they could not be called the best in the world for that year or of all time.
Ian Woosnam is probably the best golfer under 5'6" in history. Never could hebeconsidered int he ame category as Tiger Woods.[/QUOTEk
I agree completely. Calling folks names or suggesting their comments smack of discriminatory behavior is a convenient way to end a discussion not continue it. All too common, especially in the last eight years.
