Born in Honolulu, Hawaii to Korean-born parents, Wie began playing golf at the age of four. When Wie was 11, she shot a personal-best 64 in 18 holes from the 5,400-yard tees at the Olomana Golf Links, one of Hawaii's most popular links style courses. That year, Wie (who speaks English, Korean and Japanese)[3] became the youngest player to qualify for a USGA amateur championship and advanced into match play at the Women's U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship.
[edit] 20022004: Amateur career
In 2002, Wie won the Hawaii State Open Women's Division by thirteen shots over LPGA pro Cindy Rarick. She also became the youngest player to qualify for an LPGA event, the Takefuji Classic and missed the cut.
A year later, she became the youngest player ever to make a cut in an LPGA event at the Kraft Nabisco Championship and shot a 66 in the 3rd round, tying the amateur record for a women's major championship, and placing her in the final group alongside Annika Sörenstam and eventual winner, Patricia Meunier-Lebouc. A few months later, Wie earned an historic victory at the Women's Amateur Public Links tournament, becoming the youngest person ever (male or female) to win a USGA event for adults. In 2004 Wie, playing on a sponsor's exemption, became the fourth female, and the youngest ever, to play in an event on the PGA Tour, at the Sony Open in Hawaii. She shot 72-68 to finish at even par, missing the cut by one stroke.
That year, Wie was named to the U.S. team for the 2004 Curtis Cup and became the youngest woman ever selected to the play as the U.S. team went on to win. She went on to finish fourth in the Kraft Nabisco Championship. If she had played the 2004 season as a professional, she would have earned over US$250,000 from her tournament results.
[edit] 2005: Turning pro
Wie had long attracted attention not just for her height, which had reached 6 foot 1 inch by her early teens, but for the length she was able to drive the ball as well as the form of her golf swing. When Wie was fourteen, professional golfer Ernie Els remarked, "Give her another couple years to get stronger, she can play on the PGA Tour." At sixteen, Wie had an average drive of about 280 yards. Her size and use of Els as a model have led sports media to call her The Big Wiesy, a play on Els' nickname of The Big Easy. Fred Couples said, "When you see her hit a golf ball
there's nothing that prepares you for it. It's just the scariest thing you've ever seen." Arnold Palmer stated in 2003 that "she's probably going to influence the golfing scene as much as Tiger, or more. She's going to attract people that even Tiger didn't attract, young people, both boys and girls, and families."
Wie started her 2005 season by again accepting a sponsor's invitation to play in the Sony Open in Hawaii on the PGA Tour, where she again missed the cut. She then turned to the LPGA Tour, finishing second at SBS Open at Turtle Bay. That June, she placed second at the LPGA Championship. She became the first female golfer to qualify for a USGA national men's tournament, when she tied for first place in a 36-hole qualifier for the U.S. Amateur Public Links. At the U.S. Women's Open, she finished the third round in a three-way tie for the lead, but scored an 82 in the final round, and finished tied for 23. The week after, she played in the John Deere Classic in her third attempt to make the cut at a PGA Tour event,[4] missing the cut by two strokes.
In the Men's Public Links, Wie made the top 64 in the stroke play rounds to qualify for match play.[5] She lost in the quarterfinals to eventual champion Clay Ogden. She then played in the Evian Masters, a major on the Ladies European Tour and a regular LPGA event, and finished in a tie for second. The week after, she finished tied for third at the Women's British Open, the fourth and final major of the year.
On October 5, 2005, a week before her 16th birthday, Wie announced in Hawaii that she was turning professional, reportedly signing sponsorship contracts with Nike and Sony worth more than US$10,000,000 per year. At the same time she announced a pledge of US$500,000 for Hurricane Katrina relief.
[edit] Professional career
Wie cannot officially become a member of the LPGA Tour until her 18th birthday, unless she petitions for an exception to this rule, as some players, including Morgan Pressel and Aree Song have previously done. She has not chosen to file such a petition. Since she is not an LPGA member, she is limited to playing in no more than six LPGA events per year and only when granted entry by sponsor exemption. She can also play in an unlimited number of non-LPGA professional events, including the US Women's Open and Weetabix British Open. Her earnings also do not appear on the official ADT money list and she is not eligible for Rolex Rookie of the Year honors. Nor do her statistics appear on the LPGA's web site. However, as a professional, she is allowed to collect prize money. As with all non-LPGA member professional female golfers, she does appear in the Rolex World Golf Rankings.
[edit] 2005
Wie played her first event as a professional in the limited-field Samsung World Championship, an LPGA event open only to 20 top professional female golfers. She was invited to play by a sponsor's invitation and was initially credited with a fourth-place finish and US$ 53,000. However, shortly after signing her scorecard, rules officials were alerted by a journalist of a possible infraction of the rules on the seventh hole of the third round (played the previous day). It was decided that Wie had made an illegal drop by dropping the ball closer to the hole than its original lie. Because she did not report the rules infraction, she was charged with a violation of the rules of golf for signing an incorrect scorecard and was disqualified from the tournament. Had she reported the infraction, she would have been penalized two strokes.
Wie played her second professional event in November, 2005 at the Casio World Open on the Japan Golf Tour and shot four over par to miss the cut.
