I wouldn't be surprised if it is actually mentioned in her endosement contracts that she must show her legs... Hmmm.....

Tim, what are you on? If Paula Creamer is "too pudgy" then Michelle Wie is just plain fat and Morgan Pressel is obese. You must be looking at the wrong person.

Norman, I agree Michelle is a good bet at 20/1 and has a better chance than Creamer. Interesting that Fudoh is 80/1 even though she's currently ranked 3rd. I wouldn't bet on her to even make the cut.

Another thing Paul,
if they change the minimum tournament to get on the rankings list that is fine.

However I would not support them letting Wie be in the list with 15 tournament and then dividing her by 30 events for instance.
That would be plain unfair, because it would be judging her as if she missed the cut in 15 events, in which she did not play.

Many thanks Paul W for that link.
However my day job is leaning me away from reading all 12 pages of that topic.
I will have a look through some of the shorter topics though, and maybe the last page or two of that one.

As regards the minimum number, I have no problem with them changing that if they decide, but unlike the anti-Wieners, I intend not to moan relentlessly if they do.

If they change the minimum number of tournaments, we should accept it, just as the anti-Wieners should accept the system as it stands at this stage.

Since Tim hasn't actually stated his position on the rankings, perhaps he could tell us, where he actually believes Wie deserves to be ranked.
