Tucker: Can we please get Gulbis some PGA exemptions?

Just because Michelle Wie is out with a wrist injury it doesn't mean the summer months on the PGA Tour should be void of women mixing it up a little in some events.

I was just researching Natalie Gulbis on Google images and it hit me: why isn't she getting exemptions into high-profile PGA Tour events? I'd much rather watch this cutie shoot an 82 than Corporate Robot Michelle Wie. Would you rather watch a sulking youth duff it up - or a smiling, cute and legal one instead?

Getting women to compete in PGA Events isn't about "trail-blazing" or "equal rights" yet. It's about TV ratings and entertainment. Gulbis - more than anyone else - fits that bill, and tightly. Whenever Gulbis is on TV it's good TV. Her reality show is great - just on mute.

Also, since Gulbis is such a looker, it'd be funny to see her paired up with some other single twenty-somethings and see if they hit on her or get distracted. Put her with Sergio Garcia and see if he's the Mack Daddy those Michelob commercials make him out to be (just don't spit on her Sergio).
