Wie’s Coming Back
I thought maybe the layoff and wrist injury might force Michelle Wie to reconsider her attempt at playing the PGA Tour, but alas, she’s coming back for another try. Yup, she’s confirmed that she’ll be the sideshow at the John Deere Classic for the third consecutive year. So even when she was at her best and 100% healthy, she couldn’t compete, but now she’s coming off an injury that, even if healed, might hamper her ability to make clean contact with the golf ball.
I know it sounds harsh, but Michelle, please go back to the LPGA and earn your stripes first by beating the best women players in the world. Regularly. And win a major or two. Then, you can think about coming out on the PGA Tour and hangin’ with the big boys. However, the reality is that it’s all about marketing and money. Wie draws the crowds and the TV audiences and you can’t argue with that if you’re a tournament director. But let’s just call her participation an exhibition and leave it at that.
