Oct.7 Michelle Wie: Golf’s Newest Rising Star
An average teenager?
In many ways, Michelle is an average 15-year-old. She likes rock music and Johnny Depp. Her hobbies include reading and drawing. She’s a straight-A student, with a love for math. And like many teenagers, she has covered her bedroom walls with posters. The posters are of her idol: Tiger Woods.
But upon seeing Michelle, some differences are obvious. For one thing, she’s already 6 feet tall and wears a men’s size 10 shoe. Her weekly routine also reveals a striking difference. Michelle practices golf four hours a day, Monday through Friday.
On the weekends, when she’s not competing in tournaments, she plays seven hours a day. Michelle admits she is extremely competitive.
“I like challenges, and I have to be the first to do everything, and I just want to be the best,” says Michelle. True to form, she became the youngest person ever to play in a PGA Tour event last year. At the same time, she became only the fourth female ever to compete in the historically all-male tour. And at only 14, she still beat 47 adult men!
