Default Michelle Wie

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...

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.

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....

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.

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

It is Pat. She has had wrist problems earlier this year, but her and her agent were more afraid of the 88 rule, than anything else.

I feel more sorry for Ashley Gomes. This wonderful young lady is trying to make a living out there and was the last one bumped from the tournament when the sponsors gave Wie an exemption. I know she puts people in the seats...but for God's sake, honor you commitment. Even if you do suffer a real injury, stick around another couple days and make sure you keep the sponsors happy.


This girl has a long way to go and alot to learn.

just another addition to the long list of spoiled young athletes that has truly lost the edge to compete.....it's crazy what a lot of money will do to the attitude of some.....make a 10 and quit because I still have my endorsements...they forget where their bread is buttered and then it becomes too late and they are the one that had all the potential but never realized it.....shame....

Mike Celizic is one of my favorite sports writers. I think he's pretty spot on with this one.

As I've said before, she needs to dump her Dad...but I don't think her game is washed up,just stagnant! She's also using her age to side-step responsibility for her actions. Only time will tell

Women look like they can play golf and tennis at a high level. Their strokes and swings can look really good.
WNBA Basketball... it really looks bad. No hops and it shows.

Do the Williams sisters come to mind here? Granted they did prove they belonged by winning at the highest level, but had their Dad not been running around like a maniac with his cameras and signs and totally disrupting their development. Now they are basically has beens that people have little interest in. Serena still brings something to the table, but for the most part it's over for them.
