As Michelle Wie continues her recuperation, she’s getting some time to step back and reassess things, as well as spend some quality time away from the media spotlight. It seems highly likely that this is the best thing that could have happened to her at this stage of her career.
But it’s also given the majority of the world a chance to reassess their views on her. And following a brutal four days at Augusta, you can say one thing with no degree of uncertainty - Michelle Wie’s childhood goal of winning the Masters is an impossibility.
Here is what I think is still possible for Wie: She could focus on the LPGA and become the most prominent woman golfer in U.S. history. It is not something set in stone, and at this point, it’s a 50-50 proposition, but she has it in her.
But seriously, are there still Michelle Wie fans out there that still believe she’s capable of success on the PGA Tour? That even believe she could wear a green jacket one day?
Am I sending out a red flare to the Wie Warriors? Am I trolling for comments? Sure, but, hey, I’m entitled. And curious. Was the 2007 Masters, along with Wie’s last voyages in to PGA Tour events, enough to convince everyone that the men’s game is just too steep a hill to climb for Wie?
