Well, Annika was clearly upset but when the time comes next year, who knows?
From what I've heard, Michelle still got huge galleries this past week even though she was at the back of the pack. She gets loads of media coverage. Look at the John Deere Classic. Without Michelle, would that event be getting any publicity right now like it's getting? Before the Ginn and LPGA Chamionship, I would have thought it better for Michelle to stay out of mens tournaments. After her previous two performances against the women, I'm even more sure of that. With that said, I can't argue that inviting her is pretty darn good publicity.
If she continues to play like this for another year, then yes, interest will definitely wane but for now, I don't think it will happen.
