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.

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.

it's a shame how the whole wie situation has played out from day one. no way a kid should be put into the situations she's been put in. they should have let her mature, it's called the Lpga for a reason--adolescents need not apply. talent doesn't mean a lot when you're a head case.

i remember when andre agassi turned pro. so much talent, everyone knew he was going places. he went out and had fun, and ticked off a lot of people who thought he was wasting that talent. he didn't waste it, he had a good time, then grew up and got serious, and lasted at the top of the game for years and years longer than so many of his burned out contemporaries.

the report i heard this afternoon was that she REALLY upset the sponsors, McDonald's i think.
why is she allowed to act this way? shouldn't the tour step in and take some action?

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.
