Beside Tiger, I think Michelle Wie is the best thing to happenning in the Golf Profession. (He is a Wie bit better ;-))
I feel Michelle will win a mens tournament this year (if she doesn't fold)..
Do you think it's her talent, age or pressure that keeps her from win in the PGA?
She has the ability to beat most men and I think it's just pressure and age and a Wie Win Will come soon :-)

I'm saying it's somewhat age, somewhat ability. The truth is, right now she's just not good enough of a player, in practice or competition. Definitely not lacking talent, but some of it is unused. But give it a few years for her to gain in skill, and she'll start making the cuts and hanging with the guys.

I don't think it's necessarily her talent that keeps her from winning. She's proven that she can make the shots that PGA men can. And she definitely can hang with them with her driving distance.
I do not think that she will win a men's tournament this year because she will have trouble putting 4 days of good golf together, and that is tied to age and inexperience (at dealing with pressure). People give a lot of lip service to her making the cut, but what we all have to understand is that making the cut after playing the 1st two days of golf and playing in the final round of a tournament are two totally different things.
She has yet to prove that she can make the big shot when it counts, and more importantly, she needs to show that she can make the right decisions to keep her out of trouble. All of those bogeys that she is making on the 1st and 2nd day of the tournament will NEVER translate to wins when Sunday comes.

I think the problem right now for Michelle is she's entering too many invitational PGA tournaments, which until very recently were only entered by the likes of Annika Sorenstam and Kerry Webb. And I believe that Wie has not made the cutoff for these 9 or 10 PGA tournaments that she was invited to partake in. So, I agree that she has the potential to beat most of the men, but the pressure of being the lone ranger in a male tournament and her age are factoring in.

She has to come close to making a cut first, and other than 1 tournament, she hasn't come close yet. She needs to stick with the LPGA and try to win a tournament there before she plays with the big boys. I am a fan of Wie, but she has become a side show at these PGA tournaments.

she hasnt learned to close out...she didnt even win her last US womens amateur...her will to compete at a high level is now in question, and I doubt that shell even be able to win on the womens tour, there are constantly more good young asians coming to the LPGA...then of course Lorena, Annika, Webb and the others just play much better than her...Nike took a chance for 10 million, lets see how much they will be willing to pay her for the next contract...

They should have let her play the LPGA tour for a few years before the PGA. There was no need for her to play PGA tour before she wins on LPGA

what are you smoking to think that she will win a men's tournament considering she has never even made the cut at a men's tournament or won a women's pro tournament? i think it's the pressure that's getting to her, women(see babe didrikson zaharias) have played in men's tournaments before, but the media makes a sideshow of it and that puts a lot of pressure on her not only to do well, but to continue to play men's tournaments even though she is completely out of her element...i'm not saying women should be barred from men's tournaments, but i don't think its for her at this stage of her life

michelle wie should not compete on the mens tour considering one she has tried 1304832 times and hasnt made a cut except for the one time in japan where it was all no namers and because she hasnt even won a tourny on the womens tour.

michelle isn't that good, she needs to win on the lpga. not just one tournament, several tournaments. she needs to get better, she can't make the cut now, she might not make the cut ever.
i can't stand her. she's sooooo annoying, terrible, and idiotic. my god i can't to listen to her speak.
