We can only pray that the article comes true and that she doesn't play in any men's events for the next year (or more).

 

Re: Michelle Wie to forego participating in men's tournaments for now

Agreed. I like her, and I would love to see her be able to hang with the men. But if it isn't happening, it isn't happening. You don't leave a phenom pitcher in the game when he's given up 7 runs in 2 innings.

 

Re: Michelle Wie to forego participating in men's tournaments for now

It is about time. She hasn't really the earned the right to be on the men's tour because she hasn't done much on the women's tour. Has she even won one yet?

She needs to show she is dominant on the LPGA before we should have to take her seriously on the PGA tour.

 

Re: Michelle Wie to forego participating in men's tournaments for now

Yep.

I was totally willing to let her do her thing on the PGA tour, but she's not ready to do it right now, whether it's a physical, mental, or emotional reason. Whatever. Dad (+ and agents + corporate sponsors) need to just chill out and let Michelle be a teenage girl and let her have some fun.

I hope she is able to go and compete with the men in the future. I like her. But there's no justification for it right now, IMO.

she's doing a good job of forgoing women's tourneys too

Ha ha.

With Sorenstam seemingly nearing the end of her run -- she's still solid, but injuries and perhaps other interests will take away from her actual tournament time -- now is the time for Wie to pledge allegiance to the LPGA. With her, Ochoa, and the other younger and solid veterans on tour, it's damn time Wie stopped fooling around with thoughts of the PGA Tour. Good luck to her.

It's about fucking time!

Ah, who cares which Tour she plays on .... she's hot.
