@@landahoy5217 come on man she is good enough to play on the LPGA. She has only won 2 times. She is far from a great golfer. Jin ko, Lydia ko, Ariya are great golfers. They win in pressure situation and don't choke like Lexi and Wie. Just being honest not trying be mean. Who's the Bozo Mr. Land Ahoy.
Michelle Wie is/was the most over rated & over hyped LPGA player of the past 20+ years. Anika Sorenstam put it bluntly in 2013 when speaking of Wie she said 'What I see now is that the talent that we all thought would be there is not there.' A couple notes: 1) Wie-West used an exemption available to her to enter this week's LPGA Tournament of Champions played at Lake Nona Golf and Country Club; and she finished dead last. The winner of this week's LPGA Tournament of Champions, Daniel Kang, has more LPGA tournament victories than Wie-West; who currently is tied for 89th for the number of LPGA tournament victories. 2) Wie-West did lead the LPGA in driving distance one year, averaging just under 275 yards. No where near the 300 yard mark many people talk about.
Michelle Wie does not hit the ball 300 yards regularly. He problem was having Ledbetter coach her and her constant injuries. She never really got any better after age 18.
Yea, the worst thing her parents/manager could have done was try to throw her in with professional men on the PGA. She was never the same after that. It obviously wrecked her confidence. She could have been one of the best female golfers in the world but...
I could not agree with you more. What were they thinking other than money. The poor girl’s talent were destroyed. She could be one of the very best at lpga
She is clearly a nice person, and had a lot of natural talent and potential. She simply doesn’t have the grit to hone those skills into reliably competing on the tour. If I had a dollar for every “Michelle wie comeback” story written, I could buy a new set of clubs.
She never lived up to the media hype. They crowned her the female Tiger Woods but in reality she was a slightly above average pro golfer but just not great. Her Putting was not good at all either.
I loved Michele Wie for many years. I got to see her play last weekend in a celebrity pro am at Lake Nona where she finished +20 and we followed her on her last round and so did many others even though she wasn't playing well. After her round she didn't sign anything or take pictures with anyone. Not a good look.
Michelle will never be Lydia Ko even when Lydia hit a bad streak for a couple of yrs she over came it and is now winning again something i dont think Michelle will do
She may not live up to the hype of becoming the next "Tiger", but don't feel sorry for her, she is a millionaire and a successful pro. I think she also prefers to maintain a low profile and do her thing flying under the radar.
Happy birthday share with Patty, yes don't know too much only watch a year and a few months. Still young I think can make a splash in the game. Sawadee Khap.🤠
I believe Wie will come back whenever she's ready. I wondering why a Sweedish golfer is making negative about an American golfer. I would take Wie anyday over Sorenstam.
Take Wie over Sorenstam in what, a beauty contest or a golf tournament? Look at the statistics, that's an ignorant comment! ( Sorenstam has won 90 international tournaments, Wie has won 5 )
Nothing happened to Michelle Wie. People, like this video, overhyped her. Nothing wrong with being a really good golfer, which she is. She’s just no Anika Sorenstein and certainly no Tiger Woods.
Saw her in a couple matches, what, last year? Thought she was coming back. She's good for the game, just like Tiger was good for the game. I always thought the women's purses were a little below the men's...not so. Men play for about 1.5 mil a week, women, about 250k...I was kind of shocked.
Hope she does come back to play women's golf. There's 2 things she MUST have .....RESPECT , for the game and DESIRE to win ,like Tiger. The rest will follow.
Michelle should make a comeback. If she does, she needs to NOT WEAR a watch on her wrist when hitting woods and irons. There is too great a possibility of vibration hurting her wrists. Even if she is getting paid by a sponsor, she needs to arrange to only wear the watch as she comes up the ninth and eighteenth to the green. Putting with a watch on should not hurt her.
I think she made way too much money at a young age, she didn't have to work, or fight for it. I think she could make a comeback if she wants to, she was one of the best, add a little maturity and wisdom to that, anything is possible.
Yes she can comeback. I wish she can come back soon as long as she masters dietary and rest for a while until she feels she can swing effort again. I hope she takes time as playing golf she should be fine we would be happy to see her in LPGA every week. I know golf is tempting people to drive ball farther, but only good for young people can.
Her greedy parents threw her in a publicity stunt to play on PGA Tour and it destroyed her confidence just too much to take in for a 14 year old Wie and she never be as good since they killed her professional career before it even started. Working with Leadbetter further destroyed her chance of competitiveness as she went from longest hitter on LPGA to barely average off the tee her current swing was so demanding of her body that if she's not 100% health then the swing falls apart and can't score. Media overhyped and unrealistic expectations in her are also to blame as they also put additional pressure on her to succeed they ready to chew her up every time she WD or missed the cut it's cruel what they did to her.
She should have played college golf. Signing with Nike at high school was the wrong move. For most of her young life she played and competed against men. So trying the sony open was no big deal for her although she didn't play well.But after she signed with Nike there now was "high expectations" and demands for her time! She was a child had no choices in what she did. Her parents and sponsor made all her decisions for her. Here is Hawaii, we all watched her retreat into herself, became quite, wasn't smiling much. It's was great to see her after the baby, she now has other reasons to be happy and fulfilled. She can hopefully enjoy golf as a Part time player!
Great story tho one sided maybe reach out to Michelle for a live so she can speak to the pressures of golf the fans the media the injuries! Hope she continues her comeback for herself she is the face of the L P G A ⛳️
@Zach Galante I think maybe her priorities changed since she got married and had a child, plus her past injuries have hampered her progress! Anyway, I would still like to see her make a comeback.
Not a case of rush of judgment more like the rush to be judged, to immature, not good enough, for what?, a rush to. Be judged. It’s why these lower leagues are so important
The worst thing for woman’s golf would be for Wie to make a comeback. She would get all the press while more deserving and accomplished players are ignored.
It is a sad comment to make but so true.... Once a female athlete discovers romance their career in sports hits the skids.......... Just think of what would have been if Lindsay Kildow would have kept THAT name.........
She was all too eager to revel in all the hoopla surrounding her, eschewing any responsibility to prove herself on the LPGA and accepting charity to get into PGA tournaments for the exposure and novelty of it (not to mention endorsements). She made herself a polarizing figure, loathed by her fellow LPGA golfers, ridiculed by PGA fans but admittedly loved by her sycophants. Absolutely one of the least classy pro athletes of the last 25 years. Maybe she can laugh all the way to the bank but deep down, her massive failure as a pro athlete and human being gnaw at her soul constantly and she is truly miserable for her awful choices in life.
She was NEVER able to live up to what she was marketed to be! She took Nike for a serious ride, financially, made millions for doing literally nothing! She was beaten, repeatedly, by girls just on the tour and many just out of high school! This is NOT HATING, you need to have some REAL honesty. It was a total joke, and she milked it for as much money as she could get, and NO -- its not RIGHT to do that, but, it does demonstrate that marketing and PR was more important that SKILL and Character!
I will look forward to her return, but please spare me the eternal progressive lectures about equality, women athletes are liked for their abilities just like male athletes..
No..... once the body starts to go, it's hard to come back to previous levels of play. Look at Tiger Woods, such a phenomenal player, still capable of flashes of brilliance, but the consistency of excellence is gone forever. Sure, you can hang around and make some cuts, maybe even pull one out here or there, but it won't be the same. The only player to come back and become a consistent contender after serious injury was Ben Hogan and he went through HELL to keep playing. Most players would not go through that struggle even with the wonders of modern medicine.
I think she is awesome for the sport but near term goals are simple; stay healthy, learn some course management, and please get your putting to a place where you have some confidence in your pace.
@@davidjames1684 "ain't" is in the dict too but still garbage English! As is ending a sentence in "at" or starting a sentence w "so" or saying "right" every 2 words! The dumbing of America as if that is possible!!
@@davidjames1684 Using golf as anything but a noun as it was originally used is strictly "trailer pk" dummy slang as using ain't or ending a sent with "at" Or starting with "So" Ya falla NOW Davey?
@@davidjames1684 Ain't is also in the Dict clown! How? Common usage by riff raff! No literate person uses it! Ever heard "tennising"? Reason why not - trailer park riff raff can't play tennis, so no common usage garbage word like "tennising" has been created! Get it haha 2 dig IQ Davey!
@@billkramer2994 So, are you sure you ain't mistaken? Regarding this, where we be at? I would like an answer before I golf. Thanks. "Trailer Trash" Dave.
Wie suffered the same fate as Anna Sorenstam - tried to play in men's golf and screwed up her swing by trying to keep up with the men. Both lost all after their attempts at glory. You can't get blood out of a turnip and you can't make a woman into a man or vice versa.
What are you talking about? Anna Sorenstam didn't screw up her swing trying to compete on the PGA. She played one Men's event in 2003 and after that she played for 5 more years and over that stretch she won 28 tournaments, 6 of which were Majors.
@@babayaga5392 She is 10 time Major champion. Also shot a 59. I think she won 62 time on the PGA Tour. So the idiot above doesn't know what he's talking about.(Milton Matthews.
