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!

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

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.

Tennis is different. You rely on strength to hit the ball as hard as you could. In golf, you can rely on strength, but if you are really, really accurate you can make a living as well. Michelle Wie hits the ball about as far as Fred Funk does. Would you find it strange if Fred Funk won a PGA Tour tournament? He's done so enough times with his average 250-260 yard drives. The problem with Michelle Wie is that she is trying to hit it 300 yards in the regular PGA tour, when she should play within herself if she's trying against the men and just hit it 250 down the middle. I really don't think it is impossible for Michelle to be an average player on the PGA Tour. The statistics on women playing golf on the PGA Tour aren't big enough to make a conclusion on whether women can do it. Who has tried? 5 or 6 people? There needs to be a bigger sample than that before you can draw a definite conclusion that no woman can do it. And if any woman can do it, it will be Michelle, as she isn't afraid of the criticism that comes with playing on the PGA Tour.
