Michelle Wie...Will she ever return to her previous form? - Page 5

@joecoolest...you surely are telling us a lot about Michelle. Like maybe you got some soft spot in your heart for her.  Not unknown to look up to our sport heroines, so no offence intended on my part. If she cares enough about competition golf to strive for the top she has the talent and experience to do well.  More commitment and confidence will bring rewards.

When she was younger golf was "fun" to her.  It is not so much "fun" now doing it for a living.  Way over-hyped and undeserving of lucrative endorsements.  Her biggest mistake was trying to take on the men when she could not even win on LPGA.

8 figure net worth.....not so bad......she has done well for herself and her family.

If nothing else, she is certainly in financial position to retire, wake up every morning and do whatever the hell she wants........tough to criticize imo

Anyone read the Annika article which addressed this in Golf Magazine?

I read it.  To me, it came across as Annika being a hater.  Its kind of funny how Annika said she wanted to step away from golf and close that chapter of her life, yet she keeps popping up on TGC and in golf magazines.

She finished school and likely came back to satisfy her endorsement contracts but I doubt she was prepared to play pro level golf and the results have shown it.  Also let's not forget that since she was a phenom in 2004-2006 a number of new young golfers have joined the LPGA and most possess the skills that Wie had/has plus they are better putters. 

Unfortunately for Wie, anyone who can hold a putter in her hands is most likely a better putter that she is.

I think a deeper look at the stats would tell you that it's not necessarily her putting that is sinking her.

Just an illustration of how Michelle Wie has fizzled out.

I have completely forgotten about her since Ernie Els called gave her that cringeworthy name that appeared all over the press. I don't even recall when was that.
