M. Wie - keep practicing...

[Acein8ter]

M. Wie should stick to the LPGA and continue to practice her game. IMO, she has no business playing on the PGA tour or any of the mens events...

If she can't win on the LPGA, how is she going to win on the PGA???

How do you think she would she do on the Nationwide tour???

[HDPM]

At her best she was nowhere close to good enough to play the nationwide tour.

[ntnBO]

She'd struggle to make a cut on any men's tour.

She's an insult to the tradition of the game any time she accepts an exemption to a men's event thereby taking a spot away from a more deserving player. It's a freak sideshow ploy that has thankfully worn thin to most everybody. She's not even the best teenaged golfer on Oahu.

Sponsors of PGA events get a limited number of exemptions they can give to anybody. A few have chosen Wie in the past to assist with ticket sales versus picking Joe Nobody who wouldn't sell one ticket. I don't blame these sponsors for picking Wie when he star was shining bright. I don't think her decision to take these sponsor's exemptions tarnished "the tradition of the game" as you put it.

[JTrout]

She played in one Nationwide event.
She finished DFL.

When a golf tournament chooses a player for the sole purpose of selling tickets versus the best or most deserving player available, then yes, they have tarnished the tradition of the game.

Go be a tournament director for a PGA tournament where you have to deal with things like budget, sponsors, press, etc.

After you do that then come back here and post your elitist bs.
