Michelle Wie

This has to be a little galling for serious professional women golfers.

Wie is Top Female Golf Earner

Wikipedia has this to say about Michelle Wie.

By the end of 2006, her first full year as a professional, she had missed the cut in 11 out of 12 tries against men, and remained winless in all 33 professional women's tournaments she had entered, the last 9 as a professional...

Observers of golf have criticized Wie's efforts to play in PGA TOUR events through sponsors' exemptions. Wie has made only one cut in a men's tournament, and has made no cuts on the PGA TOUR.

And, still, she is the top earner. She hasn't even won anything as a professional.

I have nothing against her personally. She might even be a nice person. She has a nice smile. Numerous people have said that she has an incredible swing. Her father seems like a perfect asshole, but that says nothing about her.

But, from the BBC,

Australian Stuart Appleby has hit out at Michelle Wie's continued attempts to compete successfully on the men's tour.

But Appleby said: "She came five years too early to try to play the men's tour - she should just let it go for now.

"She's not ready for it. She's certainly not proving anything except that she can't play with the men at her level right now."

I just wish that she would win a few women's tournaments first. Annika Sorenstam deserved a shot. She didn't win, but she is the best the women's tour has to offer. She proved that by winning, and now she is back focussing on the women's tour.
