Looks like she is following in the footsteps of Tiger. Too bad she isn't that good. Anybody else sick of her already?

im sick of her. why doesn't she just play in the WPGA because she isn't going to win the mens, if that's what shes looking forward to. If women can play in the PGA why can't men play in WPGA but yeah, I wouldn't either if i was a guy?

It's not WPGA, it's LPGA. Anyway, even though Wie is going to attend Stanford, she can't play golf for the Cardinal. Since she is a professional, she is ineligible to play NCAA sports. Remember Jeremy Bloom? He tried to play for the Colorado football team, but the NCAA said since he was an active professional skiier, he can't play in college athletics. Of course, he got drafted by the Eagles to be a KR.

As far as Wie's game, I agree with you in a way. She needs to groove her game in the LPGA and win a couple of tournaments there, maybe a Nabisco Dinah Shore or an LPGA Championship before trying to make the jump to the PGA. She has the talent (I mean she can drive the tee shots over 300 yards like a man, whereas the elite of the LPGA can only drive 275 at the most), but she just hasn't learned to win yet.

She plays here in the QC, and actually cares about the area.. I mean, yeah, win the LPGA before you go on to the PGA, but hey.. she's an awesome person.. we had this high school FB player break his neck and is paralyzed.. but she donated like.. 25000 dollars to him or something, and asked him to walk with her at the JD Classic.. she called him personally and everything.. awesome person.
