Wie to Play in PGA Legends Reno-Tahoe Open
Put your ear to the ground and you can probably hear the grumbling from the LPGA locker room regarding the latest Michelle Wie newsflash - she will be competing against the men on the PGA tour - AGAIN.
Wie made the decision just days after being disqualified from an LPGA tournament for not signing her scorecard before leaving the scoring tent.
Granted, Michelle was playing pretty good last weekend, just off the lead when the mishap occurred - but she hasn’t been tearing up the LPGA to warrant teeing it up with the men, that’s for sure.
Michelle has yet to make the cut on the men’s tour - after 8 tries. But as usual, Michelle has a positive outlook on the whole thing saying, “It’s not every day that woman is give the opportunity to play on the greatest Tour in the world. This is a tremendous opportunity for me to learn from these great players and take those lessons into the future to becoming the best player I can be on any tour. This is another step in the process of making me a better player.”
You’ve got to hand it to Michelle though. She keeps putting herself out there and grinding away for that first win - on any tour.
One has to wonder if she ends up in Qualifying School if the exemptions will continue to roll in next year.

Michelle Wie has had her up’s and down and it’s looking as if the down’s have become an over growing problem. For example being disqualified last weekend for leaving the scoring area without signing her scorecard . On top of that everybody on the Golf channel last night thought it was a joke that she was even thinking about playing next weekend. There all afraid of getting there ego’s crushed by beauty. Wie I have Faith in ya, you once took a 596 par 5 in 2 shots, with your power a skills and my prays your’ll come out on top. I hope your crush those men who are laughing at you. Let the Legends Reno Tahoe open be yours!..
Peace out
