In the game of golf women have played a great role and there are several women in golf which are
champions. Michelle Wie is one of these famous golfer. She looks like a model rather than a golfer. She is one of my favourite golfers and in this post I am sharing the history of Michelle Wie.

She was born in  October 11, 1989 in Honolulu, Hawaii, Michelle Wie started golfing at a little over four
years old in her home state of Hawaii. Her father, B.J. Wie, started teaching her, by the time she was
11, Michelle was regularly winning most of the amateur tournaments. Upon turning professional at age 15
she said, “The first time I grabbed a golf club, I knew that I’d do it for the rest of my life.”

In 2003, she became the youngest player to make a cut in an LPGA event at the Kraft Nabisco
Championship, shooting a 66 in the 3rd round, tying the amateur record for a women’s major championship,
and placing her in the final group alongside Annika Sörenstam and eventual winner, Patricia
Meunier-Lebouc. A few months later, Wie earned a historic victory at the Women’s Amateur Public Links
tournament, becoming the youngest person ever, male or female, to win a USGA adult event. She also
became the youngest player to make the cut in the history of the US Women’s Open, where she placed 39th.

Wie started her 2005 season by again accepting a sponsor’s invitation to play in the PGA Tour Sony Open
in Hawaii where she again missed the cut. She then played the LPGA Tour, finishing second at SBS Open at
Turtle Bay. That June, she placed second at the LPGA Championship. She became the first female golfer to
qualify for a USGA national men’s tournament.

Wie played her first professional event in the LPGA Samsung World Championship, where she played on a
sponsor’s invitation. Initially credited with a fourth-place finish and US$ 53,000, she was disqualified
for signing an incorrect scorecard.

Her third professional start was in January 2006, at the PGA Tour Sony Open at her home course at the
Waialae Country Club, Hawaii; she missed the cut again, this time by four strokes.

In January 2007 Wie accepted her fourth consecutive sponsor’s exemption to the PGA Tour’s Sony Open in
Hawaii. She missed the cut by 14 strokes, finishing third from last in the 144-player field, 25 strokes
behind the second-round leader.

The first name that comes in anyone’s mind when we use the term ‘golf’ is Tiger Woods. Even if you don’t know much about golf, the name Tiger Woods would still be most probably pretty familiar to you. That’s because today he has become such a famous icon that almost everybody in the whole world knows him well. For those of you who probably don’t know much about this family background, Tiger was born on December 30, 1975, in California. He is the only son of parents Earl Woods, who was a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and Vietnam War veteran of African-American, Chinese, and Native American descent, died in May 2006 from cancer, and mother Kultida Woods, partly Thai, Chinese, and Dutch. Tiger has three half-siblings from his father’s first marriage to Barbara Gray Woods. In childhood days he was known as Eldrick Woods.

This young, energetic and highly talented American golfing superstar has always worked hard at making his own identity and proving his talents in this extremely competitive world of professional golf. He has not only succeeded in doing so, but has rather gained the status of a legend today. He is undoubtedly one of the top-most successful golfers in the entire history of the sport. Tiger Woods won his 11th and 12th golf championships in the majors in 2006 while he was just merely 30 years old!Tiger started playing golf when he was barely two years old and even won two junior championships when he was eight and nine which was quite a feat at that age and gave him a kick start in his career.. He decided to turn professional in 1996, when he was 20, after high school and two years of Stanford University. Under his golfing belt Tiger has achieved 74 professional wins, including 54 with the PGA Tour, and has won in the majors 12 times during the interval of 9years from 1997 to 2006. He has a stunning record of a series of victories starting with four times with the Masters, twice with the U.S. Open, three times with The Open, and another three times with the PGA Championship.

Tiger initially started with the help of coach Butch Harmon, but then switched to Hank Haney in spring 2004. He also switched caddies from Mike “Fluff” Cowan at the beginning of his professional career to Steve Williams in spring 1999.

He is particularly renowned for breaking legendary and pioneer golfer Old Tom Morris’ record dating back to 1862 for largest margin in a major championship, with an impressive 15-shot win at the 2000 U.S. Open. He is also renowned for winning all the four professional major golf championships in his era which is termed as the “Career Grand Slam” in sporting terms. He is one among the very few in this list which include all time famous golfers Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, and Gene Sarazen.

Tiger has also been honored with almost uncountable number of awards for his outstanding golf-playing in his decade-long career which mainly include the top spot with the PGA Tour Money List six times, the PGA Tour Player of the Year eight times, the Vardon Trophy six times, and the Mark H. McCormack Award nine times. Tiger has won the PGA Tour in the U.S maximum number of times, and is unrivalled in his astounding achievements. He is also the only active golfer in golf’s Career Major Wins Top 10. Furthermore, Tiger achieved the much-sought-after title of “highest-paid professional athlete” in 2005, with an estimated salary of astonishing $87 million that year alone.

He currently resides in Isleworth which is located in Windermere, Orlando, Florida, with his Swedish model wife Elin Nordegren, whom he married on October 5, 2004. The couple, who had initially met through the famous Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik, now cherishes a sweet relationship. Tiger and Elin also have properties in California, Wyoming, and Sweden, and lately purchased a huge estate in Florida’s Jupiter Island.

What’s more, now they will be neighbors to so many world famous superstars such as the golfers Nick Price, Greg Norman, and Gary Player, and even the singers Alan Jackson and Celine Dion. This great American legendary sport star would definitely be known for his marvelous unrivalled achievements for ages to come.

One of the biggest names in women’s golf is Michelle Wie; she came to fame by becoming the youngest qualifier for the woman’s amateur links public championship aged 10. She became famous again for her youngest ever qualifier to a professional event and the youngest ever qualifier to make the woman’s PGA cut. Being beautiful and over 6 foot tall isn’t a problem either.

The most successful woman golfer in terms of money earned is Lorena Ochoa, closely followed by Annika Sorrenstrom. Lorena is a Mexican born golfer, this season she has finished in the top ten in 10 out of her 12 competitions entered. At the moment the Koreans are beginning to come to the fore in woman’s golf Ji Young Oh is the latest to win a woman’ tournament with fellow country women also coming in the top groups.

While as i said the payouts are lacking for the women there is still a decent wage to be earned for the top players from matches and ther clothing endorsements that are avaidible to them. As with the men there are many companies wanting to sponsor players to wear their clothes and apparel and also plenty of magazines Michelle Wie for example had early sponsorship from Nike for her clothing. Paula creamer is another big name who is reaping the avaidible awards through sponsorship and advertising campaigns she fronts. She fronts campaigns for citizen watches and RBS among others, Natalie Gulbis advertises Adidas and MasterCard with others. Other players advertise anything from Ralph Lauren to Nike via Lexus and Oakley among a long list.

This sponsorship can’t all bad as the revenue will not only aid their travel and practise but will give the woman’s game much needed publicity worldwide. The game has a way to go to reach the fame of the men’s game but is ever increasing; some top tournaments are shown on national and satellite television and therefore shows the ladies skills at the game.

So big is the game becoming that the woman’s open to be played in Britain soon has over two million pounds of prize money on offer. The sport could one day find the women competing for the same prizes as men although the chances of competing side by side on a regular basis
