Michelle Wie just accepted a sponsors exemption to play in the LPGA tour event, The Ginn Tribute, hosted by Annika Sorenstam. Michelle, who recently turned down a sponsors expemtion, will most likely be cleared by doctors to play in next months event.
She has been out of play since the Sony Open where she played poorly and then hurt her wrist the following month.
The tournament, which is scheduled to start on May 28th, will be Michelle Wie’s first LPGA event this year. She’s currently finishing up her final year at Punahou High School in Hawaii before she attends Stanford in the fall.
We just heard that Michelle Wie was offered a Sponsors Exemption for the first LPGA event after the LPGA major just played the last weekend. She then proceeded to turn down the exemption for the Ginn Open to be played in Orlando, Florida.
Michelle Wie recently dropped out of that first tournament and although no one has gotten a definitive word on why she’s missing this golf tournament, we can only speculate that it’s because of that wrist.
We’re unsure when her first tournament will be this year on the LPGA, but we hope it’s soon. Things are getting a little dry around here and the web for the matter. No Michelle Wie news makes us wonder what to write about.
