Michelle Wie

[GPK]

playing in Charleston, SC this week on the LPGA....with YET ANOTHER different caddie. Former full time caddie for Justin Rose takes a shot with her this week.

*note to little Wiesy....it ain't the caddy kid, you have had some of the best in the business*

Kev,

Is she calling the shots? I ask because the way she is being handled is horrible. All the trys at the PGA level, the endorsements, the caddies, and it goes on and on....this girl is on the verge of going from phenom to what a shame...granted she is still very young, but someone has got to right the ship...

[pmayjr]

I predict she's gonna be like Capriati... except without the drugs. She's just gonna burn out within 2 years, and then she'll resurface in her mid 20s and start winnin.

Jennifer Capriati had some legitimate titles in the win column before she wasted some years with drugs...but I believe she's straightened out now As far as MW goes, she probably can't get rid of her Pop til she's 18!

Took a 10 on her 3rd hole today....then WD's. Nice class act by this girl. Left out the side door of the clubhouse today to avoid reporters and left a ton of momentos that she was supposed to autographed, unsigned.

I really wanted to see her do well....but it is becoming increasingly difficult in finding a reason to root for her.

Lots of growing up to do....and her old man has really lost it.

Hit the nail right on the head,Kev!

Is this not the pinnacle cowardice in Golf if you are not injured? Kev?

Sam, her father BJ calls a great deal of the shots. It's a shame really, she is tremoundously talented.

it's all about the money....put that girl on the lpga tour full time, devote the attention to golf and she rewrites the record books.....but right now when it matters, the most important thing is does the purse and belt match the golf bag, because the contract says it has too....shame....

[Seattleallstar]

she will be unstoppable once she develops into a full figured woman

Thank you Annika. Someone on that tour should have called her out long before.

The attitude of this drama queen and her handlers sickens me. It would be a horrible waste of talent, but I hope she never wins a tournament on any level

I find myself feeling the same way as well. At first I was a fan, as she bought great attention the the game I love. But her and her handlers seem to think they are bigger than the game...and not even Tiger is bigger than the game.

Her immaturity and lack of class is beginning to show....and it just stems from being in the company of some pretty classless people.

[gales0678]

Too much hype !

Ochoa can beat her brains out right now !

Women's golf has a hard time getting attention, this type of negative attention is just what they don't need!

She is becoming a joke

I will say though - Tiger pulled out of the '95 open at Shinecock when he wasn't going to make the cut with some type of phantom injuy - Earl and team Woods took at lot of heat for that, but, they were able to re-group and we know the rest of the story- time will tell for michelle

Someone needed to throw her under the bus and I admire Annika for doing it. It could not have been easy to come out with those statements. There have been locker room rumblings for a long time. The biggest issue is she acts like this on sponcer exemptions.

However this could help Wie, don't be suprised now if Nike gives her some advise. They will have a sit down with the whole Wie circus train, because they have a lot of money invested. They may even tell the dad to back off.

She is young and there is still hope, but there have been many spoiled brats whose behavior never improved.

When Annika speaks perhaps the kid will listen, I don't blame her...she's still too young for all this but the class of those around her is a problem! If it isn't addressed now, a great talent will be wasted!

Not so sure I agree with that. Although Annika's game has not been up to a level that we are used to, she has carried that tour on her shoulders for the past decade. She is respected and held in the highest regard among her peers out there. The LPGA is playing for a great deal more money than ever before and Annika plays a large role in that. I assure you, she is not about to stand by and watch anyone disrespect what she has had a great hand in building.

Her pro-am playing partners complained about her too. Teenage girls can be pretty goofy. With all that's gone on around her, it's not a shock. In fact, it's be more surprising if she didn't have 'issues.' She's wrong for sure but she's only a kid.

Its her management , jeez its like watching a horse run over its head 14 times in a row , then when it finally drops it still doesnt get there cause its had its heart jerked out to many times . I feel bad for her , she can really play but the route her advisers have chosen for her is just plain stupid.

[GPK]

seems now her 4 amatuer partners from the Monday Pro-Am this week have complained to Tour officials that Ms. Wie seemed very disinterested in playing with them.

She just don't get it....
