With most of the top players in the world skipping the John Deere Classic in order to prepare for next week’s British Open, the big story this week is Michelle Wie having a sponsor’s invite and thus having her third chance to play on the PGA Tour. As this article highlights, Wie’s presence turns an event that might be forgettable into must-see golf: “Ticket sales are brisk, and 93 media organizations requested credentials, an increase of about 30 percent from last year.”
I will go out on a limb and make the bold prediction that Wie makes the cut on the number.
Other predictions?
