Annika Sorenstam will be the first female golfer in 58 years to play in a PGA event. This has caused a bit of a stir as some male golfers are quite opposed.
Vijay Singh has been the most vocal
''What is she going to prove by playing? It's ridiculous,'' said Singh, a two-time major champion who ranks No. 7 in the world. ''She's the best woman golfer in the world, and I want to emphasize 'woman.' We have our tour for men, and they have their tour. She's taking a spot from someone in the field.''
He also said if he was paired with her he would withdraw from the tournament. (But that is not possible because he will be paired with another PGA champ)
So what do you think, should she be allowed to play? And how do you think she will do? She will have a lot of pressure on her, which will make it that much harder.
I think she will not make the cut, and do rather poorly, I dont think a couple 78-80's would be out of the question. She recently played with Tiger Woods and John Smoltz, and even John Smoltz beat her, and he is a professional baseball player!
So, I am a bit skeptical, but it will be interesting to see nonetheless.
