When I was born 54 years back - my parents were buying a house for about £3000. That house is now worth well over £300,000, so in not even my lifetime the value of money has changed 100+ fold when we are referencing buying a house.
I don't get why people question anybody taking opportunities to increase their wealth and protect theirs, and their families future - hopefully I live long enough to have great grandchildren, and if I was given the opportunity to make sure they were financially protected all through their lives - which could potentially be in excess of 100 years from now, I'd take it - we all would.
Anyway, back to the golf - cracking field out in Saudi in comparison to the PGAT's offering this week which is very much - 'meh'...
Shame it's not easy to get coverage of the Asian Tour here in the UK, something that hopefully gets addressed in the near future.

What a person needs is irrelevant, it's what they want that is key.

It’s inline with the stance that other sports have taken and it well overdue ,rugby was the first (I think) to take the stance and I think others will follow.
I notice the article mentions Hailey Davidson, what about the winnings he had earned, the cuts missed by others… this is a big can of worms.

I think it is only something that will be accepted as long as real women stay in the top rankings or winning majors. If you had a trans person, and we know distance is the dominating factor in golf now, winning the big tournaments or setting records, it would make a nonsense of the womens game. If someone exploits being fundamentally a man to win in ladies golf, it would be regarded in a similar way as the enhanced games or doping in athletics. But golf still takes a lot of attributes to win, so it will be interesting to see if any of them make it to the top, let alone set new heights.See this has finally happened. Right decision for me

It would almost be fair if the women were allowed to take PED’s just to partially level the gap.

Bad news for Helen briem

Is there any evidence that Helen Briem is anything but born and is biologically female? Genuine question.

I have no idea. Never heard of her until last weekend.
Would like to think all the necessary tests have been done or it could turn into another Algerian boxer situation.
At least she's just playing golf though not punching people in the face.

So why is it bad news for her then?

Because if it turns out she is a man, she won't be allowed on the LPGA tour. Not difficult to understand

Is this just not the case for anyone? Just wondered why you cited her?

You know full well why I cited her. Let's hope they test her so it can be put to bed.

Why do they need to test her when she was born a female

You know that how?Why do they need to test her when she was born a female

Because that’s what’s she had been all her life
Are you just judging on how she looks because she is very tall ?
