This has been PATHETIC from the first time she teed it up with the Men.
Her management team and parents need to be told enough is enough. Would I pay to go see her play in a Men's Event? Not a chance. Would she be the main reason I went to a LPGA Event? NO. She was not at the CN Open this past summer in London ON. I went to watch that event twice and once during a practice round. Record crowds for an LPGA event attended that week. No Wie, people still came to watch.
Enough is enough. IMO everytime she plays in a PGA Event she is taking away a spot from someone who is trying to make a living and retain his card.
Tell you one thing, she better start doing something or that big fat NIKE contract won't be renewed down the road!
Don't take this the wrong way. I have nothing against her personally. I just feel she is being mislead and not being properly guided in her golf career. She won no major Junior events before turning pro. She does not average 300+ off the tee, that was HYPED up to the media. She is a damn good golfer for her age, but she needs to improve in certain areas of her game. She will win on the LPGA in the near future I suspect. She should concentrate her efforts in those events. Once she is eligible to be a full playing member of the LPGA then go to it and have fun.
