She won't take the spot of someone qualifying, she will take the spot of someone who is granted a sponsor's exemption. There are 8 sponsor's exemptions for each tournament for those golfers who have previously been members of the PGA Tour but no longer are. these include former winners, player's from the area where the tournament is being held etc. Since they are sponsor's exemptions, the sponsor gets to choose who plays. If the sponsor wanted Jennifer Love Hewitt to play, she would. If the sponsor wants to create a huge amount of buzz and publicity by inviting the best female golfer to play, they can. Whether or not you care if she should play or shouldn't, the TV ratings for this event will be enormous and that's all anyone involved with the event cares about.
