Michelle Wie Won't Play Any Men's Tournaments in 2008



I'll go out on a limb and say that this is a good move for Michelle Wie:
Michelle Wie, who has aroused much controversy through accepting invitations to play on the men's PGA Tour, has said that she will not be playing in any men's events in 2008. The only exception may come at the end of the season with an appearance in Asia.
Wie, who seems like a typical teenager except that she can bomb a golf ball 300 yards and her overbearing parents sometimes forget that their daughter is 18 -- and a daughter -- had a forgettable 2007 season.

According to the AP, she finished the year with just over $23,000 in earnings, never once broke 70, and had four official rounds in the 80s, which would have been six had she not pulled out of the Ginn Tribute and the U.S. Women's Open.

Wie still hasn't earned her LPGA Tour card, and this fall she enrolled at Stanford. You'd like to think that college might afford her the opportunity to enjoy her life outside of golf, if only for a few years. Tiger Woods spent two years at Stanford before doing the golf thing full-time and he turned out okay. Ultimately, though, it's up to B.J. and Bo.

Good move. There's plenty of time for Wie to become a great golfer. Right now its best that she be a college kid who happens to play golf.

I think it will be great for her game. She swings too hard trying to keep up with the men and she loses control of her ball. Her body does not move as fluid after she plays the men.
