The field at this week's State Farm LPGA Classic may be most notable for who it's missing.
When play starts Thursday, there will be no Lorena Ochoa, Annika Sorenstam or Paula Creamer. In fact, only two of the tour's top 10 money winners will be in Springfield.
That could open the field for one of the golfers behind the big-money winners - eight of the top 25 money winners will play this week, including No. 6 Yani Tseng - or, perhaps, for Michelle Wie.
The 18-year-old long-hitter, for year's considered one of the next great players in women's golf, has never won a tournament, and is playing a handful this summer between sessions at Stanford University.
Wie, though, says she doesn't pay any attention to who's at a tournament and who isn't.
