Ah, I think somebody finally nailed it on the head. It has nothing to do with her play, it really doesn't, IMO. As long as she is tall, thin, and attractive, and physically able to swing a club, she will get exemptions....for now. But as we all know, there will be another come around right after her who is 15 or 16 and can "outdrive" the men.
Everyone knows she is not ready for the PGA, she(or her family) is just trying to capitalize as much as possible (unfortunately, isn't that the American way now?), and men who could never get a woman half as attractive love to watch her fail, so their egos will grow a millimeter and their sexist, moronic jokes will still be relevant. But the truth is, she is one laughing....all the way to the bank.
IMO, its all a sad commentary on the state of America and our facination for building someone up just so they have faller to fall when we knock them down.
If her goal is truely to play on the PGA and on the Ryder Cup, she should "go home" as has been said and develop her game.
My guess: she (and her family) realize this probably will never happen on some level and figure they better grab as much money from us as quickly as possible before the hype dies (probably in another 12-18 months), and then head to the LPGA and probably do very, very well.
