I think women will compete on the pga and that is difficult for some people to accept.
Change is difficult to accept.

Ron Mon......Excellent and thought provoking stuff...except for Under Par, who apparently had his last credible thought sometime in the nineties. Whether Wie or some other female up and comer wins a major (and Jim C. has some very realistic odds on this) in the future is open for debate...THAT future event, however, will take place and turns the worm as they say.
What a great professional golfing future we face......

Making the cut at the Sony could be just the boost in confidence that she would need for the Hawaii lpga tournaments.

Perhaps she could have her year end goals complete in February.

Then again, maybe that is a bit optimistic.

Wie's best shots on the LPGA are obviously the two Hawaii tournaments next month, which Annika will probably skip. Otherwise she will be going up against Annika, particularly in the Majors, and the two have pretty much the same strengths. If Annika repeats her performance in last year's Kraft she will win again, but a repeat of last year's LPGA Championship could leave her vulnerable to both an improved Wie and an improved Creamer.

A 9 to 5 for Wie to win a Major(5 chances in 14) would just about correspond to 4 independent chances of 1 in 10 for each Major. That would yield about a 1 in 19 chance of multiple majors or an 18 to 1 bet. The 1 Major bet appears better.

The US Open would appear to be more difficult for Wie's game--that would make multiple majors harder. What would make multiple majors a more likely bet are two things. (1) We don't know how good she will be this year, and (2) Winning begets winning. If everything falls into place for Wie this year multiple majors are possible and that would makes the odds not too bad. I still like the 1 major bet better.

I actually agree there Norman -- I think that it is highly likely, but I don't know about those odds.

Wie to win 1 major, is not a bad bet. I think she is more likely than Creamer, because Creamer hadn't really put in a very good performance at a major yet, except for the 3rd in the McDonald's LPGA Championship last year where she finished behind Annika Sorenstam, and Michelle Wie.
