Michelle Wie is to women's golf what: - Tiger Woods is to men's golf - Michael Jordan was to the NBA - Tom Brady is to the NFL The list goes on and on... A lot of LPGA players dislike her. I suspect it's a combination of: - plain ol' jealousy of her celebrity - she's another one of those damn Koreans - fear of her golfing skills Creamer, Gulbis, Ochoa and the rest of the popular players would never admit it, but Michelle Wie is exactly what the LPGA desperately needs right now. And she's going to help them make more money than they would otherwise be making without her being on the tour. Love her or hate her…

Michelle Wie is to women's golf what:

- Tiger Woods is to men's golf

- Michael Jordan was to the NBA

- Tom Brady is to the NFL

The list goes on and on…

A lot of LPGA players dislike her. I suspect it's a combination of:

- plain ol' jealousy of her celebrity

- she's another one of those damn Koreans

- fear of her golfing skills

Creamer, Gulbis, Ochoa and the rest of the popular players would never admit it, but Michelle Wie is exactly what the LPGA desperately needs right now. And she's going to help them make more money than they would otherwise be making without her being on the tour.
