It is never a dull moment when it comes to Michelle Wie. She accepted a sponsor’s invitation into the Reno PGA Tour event this week. What was once excitement for the tour has now turned into a circus sideshow. Don’t get me wrong, I think Michelle Wie is very talented and someday will be a very good player on the LPGA tour; however bouncing all around different tours without ever winning is detrimental to her growth as a player. I respect she likes the challenges that a PGA Tour event holds, yet see is still treating her golf career as a hobby instead of a profession. I work with far too many good players who wish they could get a sponsor’s invite to a PGA tour event. I can guarantee these players are better than Michelle Wie on a course set-up for men.

I wonder what the master plan is for the Wie family. Se needs a consistent, full-time schedule based around the LPGA tour that will allow her to gain momentum throughout the year and get into contention more often. Her attitude during press conferences has slightly gotten better as she matures. Golf is a challenging game at every level and it only get more competitive as the talent improves. Michelle Wie’s talent can no longer be enough to win on the LPGA, she needs to get mentally stronger and execute a plan for an entire competitive year.
