Talk:PBA Tour

Reorganization of the PBA articles

Many people don't realize that the PBA is not just bowling tournaments. Like golf's PGA of America, the PBA is an association that serves a whole range of services - from teaching to drilling bowling balls. Therefore, I'm re-organizing the PBA articles so that they resemble the PBA's organization. The first step is this article - creating the PBA Tour article, by pulling sections from the PBA article. And then, make the PBA article the umbrella article, with the tours occupying its own articles. If you have any questions about the re-org, please chime in via the Talk:Professional Bowlers Association talk page. Thanks! groink 23:10, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Kelly Kulick's 2010 Tournament of Champions victory

Kelly Kulick's victory in the 2010 Tournament of Champions should be highlighted more as this victory was the first by a woman in a gender-open top-level professional bowling tournament. (Her qualifying victory for the event had been a woman-only event.) Other firsts were the first woman to win a PBA Major, and in addition, should also be noted as the first woman to ever win a major gender-open top-level professional sporting event of any non-racing type. (Danica Patrick won a racing event in Japan to claim this title, I believe)Michaelopolis (talk) 01:14, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Editing my own comments here: In doing more research, I see that jockey Julie Krone won the Belmont Stakes in 1993, one of the top three races of the year, arguably as equal a feat as Kulick insomuch as it is a major event in the sport. In addition, drag racer Shirley Muldowney won the Winston World Points Championship three times in 1977, '80, and '82. Finally, Libby Riddles won the highly-physical Iditarod dog sled race in Alaska in 1985. In addition to Kulick and Patrick, these are the only women who have won top-level sporting events in gender-open competitions. Michaelopolis (talk) 01:28, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
