If I were Sorenstam I would be absolutely livid. All these years of grinding and grinding and dominating through sheer will (reminds me of Nicklaus' mentality) - and she earns less that Michelle effing Wie. |
More to the point, what motivation is there for her to do well? If she's making $20m a year for turning out and missing the cut or finishing last in a handful of men's events every year, will she really care about trying to win, especially on the LPGA events?
EZ is dead right though - how long will Nike want to have *their* driver be the one she daren't pull from the bag because it doesn't go straight?
For all the pressure these endorsements put on her, imagine the pressure that's building up now - just 17 and desperately watching over her shoulder in case ANOTHER 'teenage phenomenon' or 'next big thing' comes over the horizon and suddenly they seem more attractive to her sponsors?
