Just a question for you golf experts out there. What would Annika have had to do to qualify legitimately (your words) for the Colonial and/or the PGA? Would she have to forego qualifying for LPGA? Would she have to change her LPGA status to PGA? As it stands she's turning down a tournament that she could probably win to do the Colonial. Would she have to qualify separately under PGA rules? Seems to me that if she did, she's be passing up a lot of income in order to qualify with the boys.
Just asking because I don't know.

Here are a few unquestionably legitimate ways, because it's what the men have to do:
1. Enter the proper qualifying tournament, which a number of tour stops have (like the woman who won the Conn. open, and thus gained entry to the Greater Hartford Open)
2. Go to "Q-school" to get her PGA card that allows her to enter PGA tournaments.
3. Win enough money on the tour to make the top 125 (or whatever) to be exempt from qualifying.
No. 3 is how Tiger did it his first year -- he played a few tournaments (on sponsor's exemptions) and won enough money to qualify for the following year.
