Michelle Wie will make her 2008 LPGA debut at the Fields Open in Hawaii, according to a report in the Honolulu Advertiser.Michelle is a very talented golfer. If her wrists have healed, she should return to pre-2007 form. Her passing on the Sony Open was a good sign, lets hope there are more in the year ahead.The Fields, the second LPGA event of the season, will be held Feb. 21-23 at Ko Olina Golf Club in Honolulu. It will be Wie's first tournament since she finished second-to-last at the Samsung World Championship last October.
"I'm excited to see Michelle because she's spent so much time out here," Ko Olina director of golf Greg Nichols told the Advertiser. "It will be great to have her back. ... This is her home course and I fully expect her to play well."
Wie finished third at the 2006 Fields Open, a shot out of a playoff; she did not play the event last year.

She needs to focus on shoot... (Below threshold)1. Posted by Imhotep | January 25, 2008 11:13 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
She needs to focus on shooting in the mid 80's so as not to get banned from the LPGA until she gets through Q school and joins the tour as a professional. She almost shot an 88 twice last year, thus losing her amatuer status.
Let's keep track of how many events she withdraws from this year. She needs to prove herself on the LPGA before she moves to the PGA.
