Michelle Wie hasn't played since the Sony Open but she just accepted a sponsors invite to the Ginn Tribute. It looks like Annika will look to make her comeback here, too.
Michelle Wie has a sore wrist and Annika Sorenstam is battling a bad back. But, if their doctors approve, both will tee up next month at the LPGA's new $2.6 million Ginn Tribute hosted by Sorenstam.
Tournament officials announced yesterday that Wie has accepted a sponsor's exemption to play in the tournament at the RiverTowne Country Club in Mount Pleasant, S.C. She injured her left wrist during a fall in February.
It will be interesting to see how Michelle performs again in an LPGA event. She has historically done well in them but her recent showings in mens tournaments really pose a big question mark as to the state of her game.
Correct me if I am wrong but this is a womens event, and if playing with the boys gets you MILLIONS in Endorsements, I say go play your 2 rounds miss the cut and be happy. If you want to blame someone for her playing with the boys, Blame the sponsors who invite her and the people watching that make the ratings so high when she does play. If there is no interest she will stop showing up.
