With the PGA tour being Tiger-less for the time being, the time could be ripe for Michelle Wie to step onto the world’s golf stage and fill the void.

Since she turned pro in 2005, everyone (including Nike) has been waiting for Michelle Wie to take the LPGA to a new level of excitement. Let’s face it, Michelle was dubbed the “female Tiger” when she burst onto the scene as a young high schooler.

Injuries, disqualifications, missed cuts, attempts to make PGA cuts – have all but turned the lights out for Michellle. Until 2009 that is. Michelle sparked back in action by winning the Lorena Ocha tournament and helping her team win the Solheim Cup outside of Chicago.

Now is the time Michelle. Now is the time to turn up the heat and take some of the spotlight away from Tiger. The stage is yours. Bring the LPGA into mainstream America by using your talent to win some tournaments right out of the shoot this year.

And a major? Its time!

There are so many great perks to being a great golfer. Add a visit to the Oval Office as a once in a lifetime experience for Michelle Wie and the members of the victorious 2009 Solheim Cup.

The ladies spent a whirlwind 36 hours in our nation’s capitol, highlighted by a visit to the White House to meet the President and to give him a gift.

For Michelle Wie, it was her first visit to Washington D.C. and the first President she has met that went to the same high school! Yep. Both Michelle and Barack Obama graduated from Punahou School in Honolulu, a private, college preparatory school — Obama in 1979 and Wie in 2007. Talk about having something in common!

Sources say that when they met in the Oval Office, the two exchanged shakas – a common Hawaiian hand greeting. She then promptly draped a lei, a Hawaiian garland, around Obama’s neck.

The team toured the White House as well as the Lincoln Memorial while in Washington.

After a few years of empty promises, injuries, drama, and even controversy, Michelle Wie has finally bagged her first LPGA tour victory. Michelle was able to overpower Paula Creamer to win the Lorena Ochoa Invitational at Guadalajara.

Michelle let out a sigh of relief after putting in for birdie at 18, clinching the win.

“For sure, it’s definitely off my back,” Wie said. “I think that hopefully, life will be a lot better, but I still have a lot of work to do.”

Wie finished at 13-under 275 after starting the day tied for the lead with Cristie Kerr at 10 under. Kerr shot a 72 and finished three back, tied with Morgan Pressel (67) and Jiyai Shin (71).

The win for Michelle was inevitable, and many figured the win would come in 2009. She has been winless on the LPGA tour over the past few seasons. She has been criticized by many for attempting to play on the men’s PGA tour without ever proving herself on the LPGA tour. They say the first one is the toughest, so plan on seeing Michelle in the winner’s circle much more often next season.
