I have spent an awful lot of time around tours and seen some really incredible players. Michelle has the potential to be very very good on the LPGA Tour. People don't realize the disparity between the mens and womens tours. I can comfortably say that in my best years, I could have made a very nice living playing against the caliber on the LPGA. I came close to qualifying for a Nationwide event ONCE. Best I ever did was make a cut on the Hooters Tour.

Now wait a second....is there a female deficiency that would prevent Michelle Wie from improving her short game? Maybe she will never be long, but she can practice her short game to that point of someone like Fred Funk.

I'm not saying she is good enough at the immediate moment, but I don't believe it's out of the realm of possibility in time if she worked on it.
