Weir on Wie
Michelle Wie accepted a sponsor’s exemption to the play the 84 Lumber Classic on the PGA tour. It has sparked some reaction among PGA players.
Mike Weir: “If they want to give her a shot, that’s their prerogative. Do I think it’s right all the time? No, I don’t. I understand the buzz they’re trying to create with Michelle. But at the same time, she hasn’t made any cuts. I think maybe it’s about time for her to really earn a spot. It would be nice if the tour would step in. There are guys who really need to play, really need events to get in. There are plenty of guys, a lot of my friends, who are in that situation.”
Olin Browne: “This is the big leagues, man. I think tournaments should invite players who qualified to play. I don’t see any high school kids playing major league baseball.”
The Golf Blog: Apparently, Browne is wrong about high school kids playing in MLB. See here.
