Tim McDonald: Wie is not to blame - blame the wacko tournament directors

Michelle Wie may very well be suffering from multiple personality disorders – she's definitely suffering delusions of grandeur – but I say it's time to point the finger elsewhere, if only from Wie fatigue.

Let's say, for example, that you get fired from your high-profile job. Everybody in your chosen field knows it. Then you get fired again. And again. For really stupid stuff as well as total incompetency.

And yet some bonehead keeps offering you another job at an increasingly higher salary.

Who's to blame here?

In this case, it's the Legends' Reno-Tahoe Open next week.

"I know Michelle is a great competitor and we are thrilled to have her accept our invitation to showcase her skills at our tournament," said tournament director Michael Stearns told the media.

Oh, this is a MEN's tournament, by the way.

Stearns is apparently the same guy who tried to put together a Mike Tyson-Vladimir Klitschko bout for the heavyweight championship.

Hell, let's put Jose Canseco on a roster. Give David Duval a shot at the Masters. Where's Rick Mirer?

I guess Stearns and his ilk are following the old "failure breeds success" adage.

Leave a comment for Tim McDonald.
