There are several exceptions, like Michelle Wie. But, size and Mass must be some factor, because many of these women are the size of men. Michelle Wie is 6' tall, and Laura Davies is bigger than many men are. I would guess that the average female pro is about 5'6", and weighs about 135lbs..

The woman that I was talking to, thought that trying to put men and women, except for the very few exceptions, on the same playing field, was absurd. I was kind of surprised by this stance. I thought that nearly all women would be in favor of A. Sorenstam and Michelle Wie playing in men's tournaments, but she was not at all. She seemed to think that the vast majority of female pros could not compete equally with men, and should not be expected to.

I kind of like seeing Michelle and Anaka playing in the men's events, but it does not seem that all women are as amused by this. I kind of think, like EdZ, that if they can compete, it's OK.
