ginni rometty now controls ibm's marketing budget. with the company's contract with the masters worth a minimum of $10 million a year, she holds the cards. it's going to be interesting to see what happens there. nick gillespie joins me now. let me ask you, nick, are you surprised that ginni rometty has not been more outspoken on the issue? >> no, ibm is a flag corporation. i'm not surprised they're not on the ball on all of this type of stuff. i think private clubs should have the right to exclude people for whatever reasons they want. i also think that it's just idiocy on the part of augusta national if they don't extend the same courtesies that they have to previous sponsors to the current one. >> so this is not an issue of caving to pressure on women's rights, this is different? >> it's part of that. golf has a problem in america. it only became a mass sport when it opened up to blacks, to women, to lower -- to middle class and lower class people. i think it should push for that. but again, they have the right to do it and i think

ginni romety, ceo of gm. do they want to discriminate against one of their own in 2012? it's a fascinating conversation. >> why are they treating this differently, when blacks weren't admitted and now extended membership. why is it different when the argument comes to female membership? >> reporter: they're not saying. that's the fallback position here at augusta always, a private club and all club matters of private. billy said that several times. it shows the change in the nine years since '02 and '03, but i think that, yeah, they're going to have have to deal with this. i think the nation, fred, got a wonderful window into the world of what's going on down here. i know people are saying it's a private club. they can do what they want. well, for one week a year it become as public face of golf, and it brings in tens of millions of dollars in public money, corporate money, corporations that couldn't be allowed for one second to have the kind of policy that augusta has here. and i think that's why probably when they it start to invite members for this year in june or jul

controversy over women was rekindled because the tournament's longtime sponsor ibm has a new female ceo, ginni rometty, and ibm's last four ceos were all invited to become members. >> it's getting unseemly. the longer this goes, the more ridiculous the club looks. it's sending a strong message to women and girls, which is you're not welcome here. >> allen who wrote a book about augusta argues the club plays a leadership role in an international sport and has a responsibility not to exclude half the population. but he says the situation also puts pressure on rometty and ibm about whether to continue to sponsor the masters. >> she has to explain to her female coworkers and share holders why they're supporting a club that won't have them. >> today, an ibm spokesman said the company has no comment and that rometty is focused on her job. she was in brazil last week negotiating a billion dollar deal. soersz sources tell nbc news that rometty will be hosting clients at augusta later this week, but there's no indication she'll be wearing the iconic green jacket, reserved for club members and past cham

now ibm's ceo is this woman, gin ginny rometty. will this tradition be broken?the case of whenever that question is asked, all issues of membership are now and have been historically subject to the private deliberations of the members. and that statement remains accurate. it remains my statement. >> why wouldn't if you're augusta national, all those guys why wouldn't you want to have the ceo of ibm be a member of your club? that's the dilemma for them and more and more women in the next 10, 20 years will become ceos. it's going to lessen the value of membership of their club if they keep this going. >> it's a great debate, isn't it? augusta national's men's only policy has been in effect since it opened. that was in 1933. i wonder if ibm will have any leverage on that one now? >> so many people think they may find out if things will change if they see ginny walking around in a green jacket. that there will be no announcement. >> if they remain true to their word about never commenting on membership policy it will just happen and you'll see ginny walking in a gre
