AP story reporting that Ms Wie has entered LPGA Q school and will play in the California qualifier next week.
B.J. says she had no other options since she didn't win enough money this year.

Good for her though.

The ODD thing about this is that if/when she fails to qualify, she'll still be given the max amount of exemptions to tournaments. Male and female.
I really hope she does make it just so that she can cherrypick her schedule. And so that sponsors don't have to answer the question of why they are giving an exemption to someone who hasn't won anything, hasn't performed recently, and failed in Q school.
If she does fail, personally I'd rather see those exemptions go to either of the Ashley's from HWY18.
And make them run to the tee boxes.![]()
Hip hip hoorah!! About time she started "working" for her career instead of trying to get things the easy way...![]()

And idiotic headlines like this one are exactly the reason why the Wie/Nike/WMA machine seems to avoid relatively simple decisions to benefit Wie's career:
Rarely do you hear TGC do anything but criticize Wie for not taking the route taken by every other player. But then, as soon as she does, they throw up a headline suggesting she's screwed up again.
They just confirmed all the Wie camp's fears that she's damned if she does, damned if she doesn't.
Essentially Harry, but what do you expect?
Even The Golf Channel is just out to make money.
Why else would we see ads like THE HAMMER!

That was the first of two qualifiers. The second takes place in Florida, Sept. 30-Oct. 3. The top 30 from each qualifier, plus the top 10 players from the Futures Tour (Nationwide analog) play in the finals, December 1-7, in Daytona beach.
Of that group, I think (working my way through bureaucratese), the top 20 finishers get their cards and the next 20 are partially exempt.
This is one area where the differences--particularly money--between the men's and women's tours are so darn stark.
