Wie to Q School

Michelle Wie finally wised up. After running out of options to play on the LPGA Tour, Wie is entering Q-school in attempt to secure playing privileges on the women’s tour. Unable to earn enough money to obtain her card through sponsor’s exemption, Wie really had not other choice. Her first round of Q-school is next week in Rancho Mirage, California. The top 30 advance to the final stage in Florida in December where the top 20 finishers and ties earn their cards. Wie’s professional career has been rocky to say the least. She abruptly withdrew from Annika Sorenstam’s event, she was DQ’d for failing to sign her scorecard at the State Farm Classic and she had a wrist injury that kept her out of action. She also drew criticism for repeated attempts – unsuccessful – to make the cut in PGA Tour events. Her agent quit and swing coach David Leadbetter criticized her for accepting sponsor’s exemptions to play with the men. Wie turns 19 in early October.
