By now, we all know Michelle Wie : she's 18 years old, just so happens to be very good at golf, but has made some questionable career decisions. I'd like to think that's on her parents ( Dottie Pepper agrees ), and I wonder if she would be perfectly happy as an anonymous teenager enjoying college. Whatever, if the golf thing doesn't work out, Wie might want to think about going into comedy. ...
Wie, Fresh Off LPGA DQ, Decides to Play PGA Tour; Everybody Understandably Baffled —

Golfweek's Rex Hoggard writes what most people are thinking : Michelle Wie is insane to accept a sponsor's exemption at next week's Reno-Tahoe Open, a PGA Tour event. Wie is fresh off rounds of 67 and 65, which were promptly followed by a "DQ" after she forgot the bit about signing your scorecard immediately after finishing putting out on 18 . And now, with the season winding down and her ...

are good for a combined $19 million a year , according to Forbes. Maria Sharapova gets $26 million by herself. Absolutely amazing what Bratrick and Wie have got going. Can’t believe Nike and Sony think they are getting a good ROI from Wie. As for Danica, she gets more publicity for confronting other drivers than she does in finding her way to the front of the pack. Oh, what a good ...

A lot’s already been written about Michelle Wie accepting a sponsor’s exemption to play in the Reno-Tahoe Open , yet the larger truth’s gone unnoticed. This move reeks of sudden desperation from Team Wie, desperation they’d smartly largely avoided for the last year as Wie tried to rebuild a game that had been propped up by smoke and mirrors hype from the very ...

Dogs That Chase Cars
As you well know, Michelle Wie is going to play in her eighth PGA Tour event next week at the Reno-Tahoe Open. Wie has played in seven LPGA events this year, making the cut in just four of them, and if that doesn't scream "time to play against men" I don't know what does. What did Wie have to say about her "opportunity?" “It's not every day that a woman is given the opportunity to play on ...

You can't make this Michelle Wie stuff up. Seriously, you can't. I tried. I made up this story about how she broke down crying on the tenth green of the State Farm Classic last weekend, then decided to give up golf once and for all. My editor said, "Nice try, champ, but Wie got herself kicked out of the tournament for failing to sign the score card, and now she's taking another run at a ...

I'm pretty sure we can't blame Bo Wie for this, but that's surely no consolation to his daughter, Michelle. After almost two years of uninspired golf, Wie, now a 19-year-old Stanford student trying to earn her LPGA Tour card, put together two of her best rounds in recent memory. Heading into the weekend, she was in second place at the State Farm Classic. That lasted about two minutes . For ...

So much for the comeback:
