Michelle Wie is represented by the William Morris Agency and has had Ross Berlin as her agent for her first year as a professional golfer. The William Morris Agency just announced today that Ross Berlin will no longer be representing Michelle Wie and will return to the PGA tour.

Replacing Berlin for Wie will be Greg Nared who ESPN.com reports was a key element to Michelle Wie landing the multi-million dollar Nike endormsement deal.

Ross Berlin used to work for the PGA tour and left his tour job to join the William Morris and represent Michelle Wie. Greg Nared worked for Nike for years and joined William Morris not too long ago.

After reading that ESPN.com article it’s quite interesting to see how much these people get bounced around between extremely related positions and how their previous positions play into getting those they represent great deals and a lot of money!

We’ll see what this newest agent brings to the table and if it means more endorsements, I would imagine for sure it will mean a clothing line since the Nared guy was Nike’s business affairs manager for Tiger Woods. He’s got a clothing line, and a very successful one at that.

After carding a quadruple bogey 8 on Thursday as well as and eagle to finish with only a 74 Michelle Wie came back on Friday to score an even par 72. She began the round with an early double that left her in a hole she needed to dig herself out of.

In an interview after the round Michelle said she felt as though she played a lot better than her score led on due to that early bogey. She’ll definitely be looking to keep that momentum going heading into the third round today.

Michelle Wie is busy chasing leaders Annika Sorenstam, Paula Creamer and Sophie Gustafson who all sit at 6 under.
