KOCHI, Japan: Heading into another men's golf tournament in which she will allegedly play to make the cut and attempt to "win", Michelle Wie admitted that not only would she be even more of a fixture on the men's tour, but also that this is largely an attempt by her to plan for a future of wedded bliss and financial comfort. "Where else can I meet guys that make a decent buck?", Wie asked rhetorically. "I mean, only weird guys hang out at the women's tour, I don't attend classes at any school much, and forget the clubs in most tour cities." Despite the fact that Wie has yet to make the cut in any men's match, she noted that the week or so surrounding the events were great for "...mingling and mixing it up with guys that think like I do and like what I like."
Those on the women's tour were less sanguine about Ms. Wie's future. Several of the women professionals, some of whom transport their families on tour each week, snickered when they heard of Wie's real ambitions. "You know, screw her!", said one golfer who requested anonymity. "At this point, even if she COULD bring more money to the ladies' tour, who needs her big gawky self stomping around the course? She's never gonna win a tournament anyway." Sponsors, however, were more positive, with several noting potential future opportunities for sponsored dating excursions, engagements, weddings, possible reality shows and other vehicles for Ms. Wie.
