Women's Masters

Interesting idea from Paula Creamer:

Not sure what i make of it to be honest. It sounds an interesting proposition though.

I don't see why not, it's just the augusta committee being the obstacle. Mind you, I'm not a big follower of Ladies golf.

Surely they'd have to demote another major

Having another on top kind of defeats the object of a major -they'll be playing for a major title every other week at this rate

I quite enjoy watching the Women's golf and there are certainly some talented players but I've got mixed feelings on this.

Yes, it would get coverage so could be a good boost to the game and who wouldn't want to play at Augusta, but on the flipside, how will scores hold up if the greens remain as difficult and it's also feels like it's disrespectful of the tournament and sponsors that have supported the game so far i.e. the other Majors including one held yearly at Mission Hills (so the women's Masters effectively).

I can see why they want to play there and I like the idea of an womens version and really can't see how difficult it would be to stage the following week. However as others have said does it become yet another major (is that then 6?) or does one of the others get shelved which doesn't seem right
