Career / Fashion And Style
Michelle Wie was the youngest player to qualify for the Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship, United States at the age of ten. Wie had already raised about $20 million in her first professional season by the end of 2006. Injuries and swing issues put a stop to her success in 2007. This resulted in a catastrophic and controversial season.
Wie recovered in 2008, while attending Stanford University, and won her first LPGA title in late 2009. Her ability to compete at the highest levels of women’s golf at such a young age drew widespread attention and criticism. Since the end of 2006, Wie has had a good track record on the LPGA Tour.
Despite this, she missed a win. With several good showings in LPGA majors, she had finished second in six tournaments. She won her first match since returning from injury in late 2009. Since 2008, Wie has not participated in the men’s tournament. However, since 2009, she has competed in more Solheim Cups and won another LPGA tournament.
Wie had a difficult year in 2013. In 2014, she bounced back with a string of good finishes, culminating in her third Lotte Championship win. Her fourth victory, the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open, came a few weeks later, and it was the biggest of her career at that time.
