It's disgusting how much attention she gets. She's ranked like 300 in the world. She sucks.

The 2 biggest media darlings: Michelle Wie and Cheyenne Woods. Results be damned!

So far she's got a win, a T-23 and a missed cut in New Zealand. How's your 2014 been so far?

They gave her a lot of attention last year, too.

About as much as Inbee Park got.

But omg she's related to Tiger, so she's automatically the future GOAT

Maybe because she's good, attractive, related to Tiger, and very marketable? Nobody cares about women's golf so they need to pimp girls that will actually get people noticing.

I was not previously aware that Cheyenne Woods got the haters mad. Good to know.

So then what's your beef? If the LPGA can find a person to create a boom like the PGA had with Tiger, isn't that a good thing? It got quite a bit more popular just from Wie and she hasn't done ****.

I can see what their thought process is "ZOMG SHEZ THE FEMALE TIGUR!" lol and still be bothered by it. It's annoying.

The LPGA isn't hard-up for marketable players. The sport is already huge in Korea and has pretty competitive players from all over the world. There are also plenty of cute girls who do well enough to be marketable (Korda, Gal, Munoz, Creamer, Wie, etc.) And the Inbee Park story last year was huge. It's not like they need to thrust this ho into the spotlight - but are just doing so because ZOMG TIGUR.

Let's be honest, women's golf is in a better state than it's ever been. I remember the old days when half of them had mullets.

saw a commercial today with Wie talking about how awesome that the Olympics are going to include golf.

1) Are we seriously going to have to see this commercial for the next 2+ years?

2) She really thinks she will make the team?

Is it a team event? Would be way cooler if not.

Men's and Women's Individual 72 hole stroke play events according to Wikipedia.

Could add pairs, team events and the rare golf dancing in future years.

If Nolo Jones can make the bobsled team they'll probably pick Wie for golf.

This Singapore course looks nice. So does Azahara Munoz for that matter but that's hardly news.

Cannot get over what a pear-shaped woman Angela Stanford is. That's not news either but she has a relatively skinny person's head on a fat person's body. Reminds me of the "tiny head" cheat on NBA Jam.

Just imagine if she were to procreate with Rocco. Their progeny would wobble, but not fall down.

Good thing that putt had so much break, otherwise she never would have stood a chance

I want to eat Korda's snatch.

Also Creamer looks like she lost about 15 pounds from last year. She looked good with that cushion but I kinda think she looks better now.
