Let's face facts ... right now Michelle Wie doesn't have what it takes to win in a PGA event. Yes she's extremely talented for her age and is going to come into her own like a tornado, but for right now it's unrealistic to think she can be competitive in the PGA. All she's doing is diminishing her accomplishments on the LPGA, where she's come close to victory (one 2nd place finish, 3 3rd place finishes and 1 4th place finish). Ever wonder why Anika Sorenstam doesn't dip into the PGA tour that often? Because to go 3 or more events without making the cut on the mens PGA would diminish her accomplishments on the LPGA. It's the same reason why the WNBA championship team will never play against their male counterparts. Michell Wie's manager, swing coach and manager need to point out the reality to her before she stumbles her way into disgrace.

Michelle Wie ought to really concentration on the LPGA if she will play in professional tournaments, because as she's shown a pair cases now, she in basic terms can not keep up with the adult men yet. After many years on the LPGA, perchance her recreation will be sophisticated sufficient so she will make some noise on the adult men's excursion too. yet on the instantaneous, i imagine Morgan Pressel is a extra appropriate golfer than Michelle Wie. Michelle wouldn't have the consistency to fairly win a large adventure like Morgan did. She has the skills, yet no longer the consistency

Yes. she could be a good glofer, if she wins something. If she is so good, she should be going out there spanking all the women golfers, go on a run like tiger, and get some records, at least win a few tournaments.
No one thinks any more of her when she goes out to big boy tournaments, gets spanked all over the corse, or does not make any cuts.
Annika Sorenstam player with the men, got spanked, and went back to the womens tour. No one remembers or cares how she did with the men, they just know the level of success she got in her own sport.

Too late - she has already stumbled her way to disgrace twice when she was caught not correctly penalizing herself during play (ie: cheating). Not only isn't she ready for the PGA, but she isn't ready for the LPGA either - at least until she reads and understands the rule book.
Personally I think she should finish high school and then FOCUS on professional golf, but since she took the $10m from Nike I think she pretty much has to "be the shill".
My personal prediction is that she will burn out early in her career and never achieve "Female Nike Status".

Too many times people forget about the mental aspect of golf. Mental toughness and confidence are so important in the game of golf.
Michelle Wie has a goal and plan in place for some time now. What she is doing helps to drive her game. Until she feels it is time for a change she will stay the course.
Would I like to see her compete in more LPGA events? Yes and it is just a matter of time before she does win one. However, I wouldn't upset the apple cart at this juncture.

I think I'm with you on that.
I am all for her trying to compete on the PGA, but prove yourself first on the LPGA.
She's not even qualifying for these men's events....she's getting sponsor's exemptions.

If she qualifies like the men do let her play if not than no. I don't remember seeing her name in the last Q school for this years tour.

i totally agree. she hasn't even won with the girls yet and so how does she think that she can win with the guys. plus what i don't get is why do they want to play against us. they have their own league and we have ours. i'm not sexist but we aren't aloud in theirs so how can they be in ours. i mean it would be different if they were so good that they were winning every tourney and were too good then fine go against the guys but damn. come on!
