michelle wie to play LPGA championship
Michelle Wie will play in this year's LPGA Championship, and probably the other 3 women's majors. She's had a little more success on the women's tour, so I'm not as opposed to her entering these events as I am with her playing in the PGA events too soon in her career.

If you have not heard about Paul Casey's comments about Americans, I do have to admit that it put a smile on my face seeing that he shot the same score in the Sony Open as a 15 year old girl. And she missed every putt she looked at.
good point. maybe the fact that michelle wie can beat some male pro golfers earns her place in the tournament.
If you are a sponsor, and you know that a good chunk of ticket sales will happen by locals to see a local girl in the tournament, why wouldn't you offer her a spot? Granted, golf is just a game, but for a sponsor, it is a business, and getting more bang for your buck is just good business sense (whether or not the pros feel the same way). The bonus for the Sony is that they are assured of getting a good percentage of the top ranked players from the Mercedes...whether they invite Michelle Wie to play in it or not.
Michelle Wie gets people talking about golf.She is a fantastic talent and like Tiger Woods could bring a whole lot of young people into the game Good luck to her.After 2nd in a ladies Major (as a teenager)nobody can ever say she cant play.
