It seems dumb to me.
Sponsoring an event is different from practicing discrimination. It sounds like this Burk woman has a specific agenda with respect to Augusta -- she's referred to as "a long-time advocate for allowing women members at Augusta National."
Most professional sports don't involve men and women playing together -- would she disapprove of a sponsorship with the NBA, too, or is it just the Augusta/women membership issue?
