LPGA Downplaying Wie's Debut As Card Carrying Rookie
/I know her English isn't, you know, like perfect, but come on, she's the biggest thing to happen to women's golf since Annika.
Jon Show tries to figure out what the LPGA Tour could be thinking by handling her like every other rookie, minus the blog posts and other news that might actually draw in more fans.
Commissioner Carolyn Bivens, in an e-mail, wrote that Wie and other rookies will be promoted through “varied media outreach,” primarily consisting of stories in local print media.
Wie, by choice, is not taking part in the rookie editorial features at LPGA.com. Other players are participating in Q&As and writing blogs on the Web site.
