Just last week Stuart Appleby came out and said he thinks Michelle Wie should come back to play the men in a few years when she improves. In previous years golfers were afraid to criticize Wie because no one wants to be seen as an ogre picking on a little girl.
But now with the FedEx Cup, not only is Michelle Wie taking away a spot from a qualified golfer, but also FedEx Cup points. Look at it this way, what if Tiger Woods and Stuart Appleby have a good year but for some reason Woods barely misses the cut for an event, coming right behind Michelle Wie (who would occupy the last available spot).
Let's then say that Tiger loses the FedEx Cup to Appleby by only 2 points. Had Wie not been in the event, Tiger would have won the Cup
I think that alot more golfers are going to become alot more vocal about Wie appearing in PGA events over the coming year. And the sponsors will feel pressure to stop giving her exemptions.
