Okay, I�m taking bets. My bet is that Michelle Wie, probably the most poorly managed professional female golfer in recent memory, will miss the cut in next week�s men�s PGA Tour event.I don�t know who makes decisions for her, but in addition to being disqualified for a second time in a professional event (hasn�t she played this game on a national stage since aged 14), she decides to add insult to injury and accept a sponsor�s exemption to play in an eighth PGA Tour men�s event. I think at this week�s Legends Reno-Tahoe Open, she�ll fail like she�s failed many times before even though this will be one of the weakest fields on this year�s PGA Tour.Why does she do this? Well, it appears since she has no official status on any professional tour, she needs to get sponsor exemptions on the LPGA Tour just to be able to play. She has one more opportunity to use an exemption to finish in the Top 80 on the money list. If she doesn�t she�ll have to go to qualifying school. Right now she ranks, I think, 244th on the LPGA Tour (if she were a member).I�m so confident of my prediction that I�m willing to embarrass myself in front of the golfing world. If you think that I�m crazy, put your money where your mouth is and tell me I�m wrong. I�d be happy to see this play out. If I bet wrong, I will play my next round of golf wearing a skirt (a nice blue and green one). I will also make sure that my attire is photographed and publicized on this website.All you Wie Warriors out there, are you ready to defend you idol�s honor? As G.W. Bush said ingloriously in 2003 �bring it on�.
