Followup on Wie. According to ESPN there are strong indications Michelle Wie will turn pro after the SAMSUNG LPGA later on in the LPGA season. The extremely strong incentive is a reported 10 - 12 million dollar contract being offered by NIKE for her to turn pro and fore go remaining amateur while she attends college.
If she accepts the NIKE offer, IMHO she would be crazy not to, she forfeits a guaranteed entry into the Amateur Publinks Masters qualifier draw which she earned this year by virtue of her quarter finals finish this year.

Hootie says thank you God because there ain't any avenue other than the publinks that would get Michelle into the tournament in his lifetime.

Doesn't winning a PGA event qualify for a spot at Augusta? I'm not saying she could win with the boys, but there's always the John Deere Tourney.
