The problem with Alex and his mentors/sycophants is that for all the blabbering they do, they cannot dispute the fact that MW is one of the very best female golfers in the world at the moment.
The only "bubbles" involved are in Alex and Smails heads.

That is why people like to watch her. If Alex and his buddies don't like the hype as they claim, then they should STFU and lessen their share of the hype.

Would people tune in to MTV to see MW? I wouldn't, unless she had some terrific singing voice or her house was featured on "Cribs".

Doug, If what you say is true, that non-golfers don't care about the golf and only want to look at Bubbles, it would probably be wise for her to make a few videos or DVD's and have them featured on MTV. I don't think that is the case. But if there is any truth to your take on it, that would prove that her publicity machine has been working overtime.

I am relieved to see that Tiger Woods won. He's playing golf with renewed fervor. It's going to be hard for golfers to catch him now.

I should have such trouble. I don't think Jim meant to piss him off.

Michelle should remain a free agent. If she commits to any tour she will be known as having accepted that lot in life. I personally enjoy watching her quest in all markets.

And, Tiger Woods is currently in a bit of trouble right now. His putter is letting him down and he is now tied with Jim Furyk. Great match!

It might be of some significance that TGC provided complete start to finish coverage of all the Women's majors to several markets in Asia who paid TGC for the event coverage. At least you can look forward to seeing the Nationwide tour in the States.

Women's golf is a huge draw in Asia and the Asian men's tour is looking for crossover appeal to increase ratings, attendance and revenues. The JPGA is well behind the JLPGA in all segments of the market and the JPGA might lobby Michelle to join their tour in a effort to increase revenues in all areas and boost purses higher.

Michelle continues to be the Nuclear Fusion of the golfing world and media. Tiger is playing an excellent tournament this week and we are still here commenting on a sixteen year old that finished tied for 26th place.

Stacy,

I agree but so many non golfers only want to see MW and don't care about the golf.

There are probably big bucks in a 6 hr DVD of nothing but Wie.

There's not much that can put a positive spin on my game anymore.
