If its a top 20 players on the LPGA, why is Michelle Wie playing???? No doubt she will become a regular participant in years to come, but what has she done to earn it this year??? If she is there why isnt someone like Christina Kim included, one of the livewires of Americas victorious solheim cup team??? Answers on a postcard if someone heard why this happened... |
Michelle is playing LPGA events (and probably PGA events) on Sponsors' Exemptions (which means that the Tournament Sponsor can have anyone they choose play in the tourney).

So she knocks a 6 or 7 down to about 70 yards or so and then stuffs a wedge to 3 feet and gets the birdie....and they are STILL moaning that she should have went for the green in 2!!!!!! |
Welcome to the world of trying to make golf dramatic.

The LPGA is probably going to head the way of the PGA, you can't watch the coverage of the mens tour at the moment without seeing Tiger every couple of minutes or hearing about him. The coverage of the LPGA this week has been the same with Wie.

To make your allusion better, we should have coverage of Sorenstam... but wait! You're right - Wie wears the swoosh. Now we know who
really holds the power over the TV stations...
