Sponsors Reportedly Complain About Michelle Wie

Michelle Wie’s pro-am partners at the  LPGA Ginn Tribute “were less than enthused with her hospitality and tournament organizers were left feeling the sponsor’s exemption they extended to her was not appreciated,” according to sources cited by Ron Sirak of GOLFDIGEST.com. Then, at the pro-am for the McDonald’s LPGA Championship, sources said that Wie’s playing partners “complained that she would walk off by herself after hitting a shot and had little interplay with any of the four amateurs.” The complaints “annoyed McDonald’s officials and reached the office” of LPGA Commissioner Carolyn Bivens. A spokesperson for Bivens confirmed she “had a conversation with the Wies but declined to divulge its nature.”
