she hits the ball by me Lori , if she gets the putter working and sharpens up the shortgame she will kill them

par 5's are par 4's for her every week , just like young tiger

What Tiger has that seperates him from everyone else on the tour is his mental toughness. Young Tiger had the same head he has now. Thats why he won 3 US Junior Amatuers and 3 US Amatuers (sp?) when he was young.

Wie doesnt have that at all. I'd take someone who hits it 240 (Anneka) and has that toughness over someone who hits it 310 and cant win a darn thing ANYDAY.

It doesnt matter what Wie can do on par 5's if she chokes when in position to win. Sorry Marty, she aint anything like Tiger!

she had 3 top 5 finishes in majors in '06 , if she keeps here head screwed on , stays away from the colts there is no telling how much she could win

every weeek she will be playing a par 68 course , that's almost 16 strokes over 4 days she has to play with over the field

will see this year what happens

If she stays away from her father, she might stay focused enough to grow into stardom,but that's a big if....

It aint the colts she needs to stay away from, its her parents. I used to root for her, but now I find myself not really caring if she does well or not.

that's a shame as you know she can revitlize a tour that is is need of a superstar

Playing against males didn't make her worse.

Growing into a college student did.

I still want her to try the PGA Tour a couple more times. I don't think she could be or beat Tiger on a daily basis, but she could be an average player on the PGA Tour, which would be a far better accomplishment than winning on the women's tour which no one cares about.

I completely 100% disagree with that. on her GREATEST DAY EVER she couldnt beat Tiger's WORST DAY EVER. Tiger could beat her lefthanded and blindfolded.... (I do realize that you said you dont think she'd beat Tiger... but the thing is, she cant beat anyone on the PGA tour consistantly)

Cant even compare men to womans golf. The worst golfer on the PGA tour (actually having his card - i'm sure some girls could beat club pro's) would look like Tiger if he played in the LPGA tour.

Anneka tried and couldnt even make the cut. She was smart, and realized that women are inferior to men when it comes to athletic ability. Wie will never be the kind of golfer Anneka is/was.

The courses the men play are THOUSANDS of yards further than what the women play. If she played on the PGA tour she'd be lucky if she made 1 or 2 cuts per year... in the tourney's that the top players skip.

Its like saying Serena Williams could beat Nadal. Its rediculous.

I had a friend that made a nice living on the LPGA tour for years. We played a lot of golf together through the years. We always played straight up I beat her as often as she beat me.

Give me Lorena everyday of the week as a superstar to represent that tour as opposed to someone like Michelle.
