Your argument essentially says that Augusta WOULDN'T be discriminating if they just used the "must have penis to play" test, rather than saying "no women." They mean the same thing.
While naturally Augusta DOES say women can't play -- my response above is as ridiculous as the one you posted, Rupert. The end-game is the same whether you say "disabled people can't play" or "you have to be able-bodied enough to walk the entire course to play," they accomplish the same thing, one just sounds less nasty, when in practice, there is zero distinction between the two with the exception of how much of an ******* the person saying it sounds like.

I don't think you can compare the Augusta rule to the PGA Tour rule. The whole point of the Augusta rule is to keep women out. The PGA Tour rule is not designed to keep people out. With the Tour rule, the same rules apply to everyone. Everyone must walk. That is not discriminatory.
