but imagine if a woman was to qualify for the tour the amount of sponsors that would come her way.

Initially, probably, but sponsors want results. Missed cuts mean no week-end exposure. No exposure...no sponsors. Curious fans will soon lose interest in "barely made the cut" performances and that's assuming any woman can earn and keep a PGA Tour card. Sponsors and golf fans want to see winners and those in contention to win, not the players way down the leader board. As good as Wie is now, she's still not beating the best women players in the world (winning on the LPGA Tour). She's a phenom that will beat some of the men some of the time, but it's highly improbable she will ever win, or contend, on the PGA Tour. Let's see how she fairs at the PGA Tour Qualifying School before you hand her the sponsor's millions for playing on the mens tour.
