Why does she insist on playing in Mens tourney's? At the age of 16, shouldn't she be focusing more on the lady's tour and bettering her game against the top lady golfers? Or is it just about the $$$$?

I have to admit, she is a pretty young lady but if "looks" is what it's all about, those guys on the tour are pervs. She's now missed 9 out of 10 cuts on the men's tour. IMO I think she should focus on stepping her game up to compete consistently w/the likes of Annika Sorrenstam.

It has to be all about the Benjamins.

She turned pro but is too young to join the LPGA so she is a pro golfer without a tour. The LPGA limits the amount of sponsor exemptions she can use to play in the ladies events so right now the only other opportunites she has is at any event that will give her an exemption. So she plays men's events.

"She turned pro but is too young to join the LPGA so she is a pro golfer without a tour. "

This is not really correct. The LPGA does have an age limit of 18 but you can file for an exception like Morgan Pressel and Ari Song did. Wie did not do that.

Why she chose not to file, I don't know but with $10,000,000 from Nike and Sony and appearance fees from some of the men's events that are greater than the total purse for the event, I assume she's not in any hurry.

She really tore it up at the 84 Lumber tourney.
