Michelle Wie has made her final choices for the eight LPGA tour events for 2006.  Monday, she accepted an invitation to the Samsung world championship completing the eight LPGA tournaments she can play in.

As you may remember, last October, Michelle made her professional debut at the Samsung championship. That was the infamous disqualification after dropping her ball too close to the hole, then signing an incorrect scorecard.

Michelle is allowed six exemptions.  She will play in all four major tournaments along with the Women’s Open and Women’s British open not counting towards her six exemptions

So now the Michelle Wie has agreed to play in the HSBC world match play championship to be held in New Jersey in July, who’s willing to bet that she chokes?  Granted she has played well in the past in match play tournaments.  Then again she is going up against the two best players in the world Paul Creamer and an Annika Sorenstam.

Michelle has going into the tournament the title of the youngest player in history of the Curtis cup.  That was held in 2004 when she won both singles matches.  They should be very interesting to watch and I’m sure the ratings will soar especially if it’s a close match.
