Make a come back!!!! Comeback from what ? She won the U.S Open and a another tournament. She gets way to.much credit for being a great golfwr.

[@landahoy5217]

She’s a great golfer but no time to make a comeback family more important. Just remember that mr bozo.

[@almondshackleford715]

@@landahoy5217 come on man she is good enough to play on the LPGA. She has only won 2 times. She is far from a great golfer. Jin ko, Lydia ko, Ariya are great golfers. They win in pressure situation and don't choke like Lexi and Wie. Just being honest not trying be mean. Who's the Bozo Mr. Land Ahoy.

[@petelandry1149]

Can’t say I care. She was always very overrated imo

[@wnfakind9197]

You care or you wouldn’t of watched the video 🤔

[@MrRobVision]

She ain't making no comeback.

[@justanotherbozo]

Michelle Wie is/was the most over rated & over hyped LPGA player of the past 20+ years. Anika Sorenstam put it bluntly in 2013 when speaking of Wie she said 'What I see now is that the talent that we all thought would be there is not there.' A couple notes: 1) Wie-West used an exemption available to her to enter this week's LPGA Tournament of Champions played at Lake Nona Golf and Country Club; and she finished dead last. The winner of this week's LPGA Tournament of Champions, Daniel Kang, has more LPGA tournament victories than Wie-West; who currently is tied for 89th for the number of LPGA tournament victories. 2) Wie-West did lead the LPGA in driving distance one year, averaging just under 275 yards. No where near the 300 yard mark many people talk about.

[@outtakes69]

Michelle Wie does not hit the ball 300 yards regularly. He problem was having Ledbetter coach her and her constant injuries. She never really got any better after age 18.

[@landahoy5217]

Hello mr know it all. 😜

[@Cutterman62]

Not a chance. Her parents did a terrible job with career when she was young, how stupid of them to let her play on the men's tour.

[@johnkraus5454]

She never lived up to the media hype. They crowned her the female Tiger Woods but in reality she was a slightly above average pro golfer but just not great. Her Putting was not good at all either.

[@TAYLORFAN50]

Make a comeback? Highly unlikely.

[@jpman9795]

Yea, the worst thing her parents/manager could have done was try to throw her in with professional men on the PGA. She was never the same after that. It obviously wrecked her confidence. She could have been one of the best female golfers in the world but...

[@rayleeaustralia]

I could not agree with you more. What were they thinking other than money. The poor girl’s talent were destroyed. She could be one of the very best at lpga

[@jcjbike]

She is clearly a nice person, and had a lot of natural talent and potential. She simply doesn’t have the grit to hone those skills into reliably competing on the tour. If I had a dollar for every “Michelle wie comeback” story written, I could buy a new set of clubs.

[@lumasoc]

The media and tiger parents ruined her life. Comparing to Tiger c"mmon man not even close.

[@neils971]

When she turn pro to much destruction and wrong coach she was lucky to win the us open and after that nothing happen....

[@josearellano6843]

Come back from what? 16 years on the LPGA and 5 wins. She was sold to all of us as the Tiger Woods of women’s golf.

[@ellisjames7192]

How can she "comeback" when she was never what people expected.

[@claudelewis509]

She couldn't handle the pressure. Nor had the game,caused she was already burn't out by age 17.

[@papayasalad4508]

The boat has sailed

[@claudelewis509]

Never lived up to expectation. I blame her parent for throwing in with the men,while she was still developing.

[@sangchun5589]

Day dreaming..

[@edandkarendamadio4108]

She may not live up to the hype of becoming the next "Tiger", but don't feel sorry for her, she is a millionaire and a successful pro. I think she also prefers to maintain a low profile and do her thing flying under the radar.

[@colinschenck2129]

What happened? Over hyped child "prodigy". Got to stop following teenagers as the next big thing because they tend to flame out more times then not

[@dt2745]

I'll tell you exactly what happened to her They put her up against male pros and it destroyed a career that very second

[@ellisjames7192]

When you do no win, it saps your confidence. She never should have playing the men. It proved nothing.

[@landahoy5217]

😂

[@golfsolved1559]

Badly managed. Had the ability to win multiple majors and dominate womans golf.

[@patricksnyder3446]

NO she has moved on the game has moved on !

[@rayminyard1]

Made her money. 🙌. Think she just got technical. Just grip it and rip it. Let the big dog eat. Stop letting her brain get in the way.

[@dkvikingkd233]

I will look forward to her return, but please spare me the eternal progressive lectures about equality, women athletes are liked for their abilities just like male athletes..

[@williamwigginton377]

THAT SHIP SUNK A LONG TIME AGO.

[@tomm.6265]

Unfortunately Michelle never lived up to expectations she just didn;t have it when it counted

[@Shakester71]

Nothing happened to Michelle Wie. People, like this video, overhyped her. Nothing wrong with being a really good golfer, which she is. She’s just no Anika Sorenstein and certainly no Tiger Woods.

[@duvie2954]

No one cares.....She was always overrated!!!!

[@michaelpass2176]

That is her decision hers a lone!

[@CB-ig9ug]

Very clear she is finished.

[@fredlau7635]

Thank you, I always wonder what happened to her. Full time is good too. Be well Champ.

[@tomm.6265]

Michelle will never be Lydia Ko even when Lydia hit a bad streak for a couple of yrs she over came it and is now winning again something i dont think Michelle will do

[@barebarekun161]

Her greedy parents threw her in a publicity stunt to play on PGA Tour and it destroyed her confidence just too much to take in for a 14 year old Wie and she never be as good since they killed her professional career before it even started. Working with Leadbetter further destroyed her chance of competitiveness as she went from longest hitter on LPGA to barely average off the tee her current swing was so demanding of her body that if she's not 100% health then the swing falls apart and can't score. Media overhyped and unrealistic expectations in her are also to blame as they also put additional pressure on her to succeed they ready to chew her up every time she WD or missed the cut it's cruel what they did to her.

[@eherlitz]

I sure hope so, she is one of the great pearls of golf.

[@yakkyuu12]

She was NEVER able to live up to what she was marketed to be! She took Nike for a serious ride, financially, made millions for doing literally nothing! She was beaten, repeatedly, by girls just on the tour and many just out of high school! This is NOT HATING, you need to have some REAL honesty. It was a total joke, and she milked it for as much money as she could get, and NO -- its not RIGHT to do that, but, it does demonstrate that marketing and PR was more important that SKILL and Character!

[@jondiamond5865]

I loved Michele Wie for many years. I got to see her play last weekend in a celebrity pro am at Lake Nona where she finished +20 and we followed her on her last round and so did many others even though she wasn't playing well. After her round she didn't sign anything or take pictures with anyone. Not a good look.

[@claudelewis509]

Its called. I'm to embarrass to signed autograph,After my piss poor performance. +20 U probably could have done a little better yourself.

[@centralpete6044]

She was all too eager to revel in all the hoopla surrounding her, eschewing any responsibility to prove herself on the LPGA and accepting charity to get into PGA tournaments for the exposure and novelty of it (not to mention endorsements). She made herself a polarizing figure, loathed by her fellow LPGA golfers, ridiculed by PGA fans but admittedly loved by her sycophants. Absolutely one of the least classy pro athletes of the last 25 years. Maybe she can laugh all the way to the bank but deep down, her massive failure as a pro athlete and human being gnaw at her soul constantly and she is truly miserable for her awful choices in life.

[@csnide6702]

It is a sad comment to make but so true.... Once a female athlete discovers romance their career in sports hits the skids.......... Just think of what would have been if Lindsay Kildow would have kept THAT name.........

[@garymclaughin]

Happy birthday share with Patty, yes don't know too much only watch a year and a few months. Still young I think can make a splash in the game. Sawadee Khap.🤠

[@Py-dr2fv]

Michelle Wie and Freddy Adu, too overhyped nothing but they probably made more money than me though so that sucks lol

[@mastermechanic8966]

She got lazy getting money from Nike for doing nothing. Riddled with injuries from being weak.

[@iamfodder1017]

Saw her in a couple matches, what, last year? Thought she was coming back. She's good for the game, just like Tiger was good for the game. I always thought the women's purses were a little below the men's...not so. Men play for about 1.5 mil a week, women, about 250k...I was kind of shocked.

[@ellisjames7192]

How was she good for the game when she did not win. People follow Tiger because he wins.

[@claudelewis509]

She was overrated.

[@johntatum1951]

Michelle Wie will be back, but maybe golf is not as important as it was before she had her child.

[@commonsenseisntcommon1776]

Her education was more important to her than Golf!

[@drdarren666]

It would be great if she could make an impact. Fantastic technique and fluid swing.

[@24Golf]

We agree! We hope she will make a comeback! Otherwise it would be shame with her skill and beautiful swing!

[@jmswng77]

Stay away from Leadbetter”s tips , if u want distance.

[@commonsenseisntcommon1776]

Her Stanford Degree was more important than her golf career!

I hope she takes time as playing golf she should be fine we would be happy to see her in LPGA every week. I know golf is tempting people to drive ball farther, but only good for young people can.

Take Wie over Sorenstam in what, a beauty contest or a golf tournament? Look at the statistics, that's an ignorant comment! ( Sorenstam has won 90 international tournaments, Wie has won 5 )

[@michaelcrews6725]

The worst thing for woman’s golf would be for Wie to make a comeback. She would get all the press while more deserving and accomplished players are ignored.

[@lawrencesykkmon2064]

she doesn't have good foundation

[@Dovey14]

She should have played college golf. Signing with Nike at high school was the wrong move. For most of her young life she played and competed against men. So trying the sony open was no big deal for her although she didn't play well.But after she signed with Nike there now was "high expectations" and demands for her time! She was a child had no choices in what she did. Her parents and sponsor made all her decisions for her. Here is Hawaii, we all watched her retreat into herself, became quite, wasn't smiling much. It's was great to see her after the baby, she now has other reasons to be happy and fulfilled. She can hopefully enjoy golf as a Part time player!

[@Mycroftsbrother]

No..... once the body starts to go, it's hard to come back to previous levels of play. Look at Tiger Woods, such a phenomenal player, still capable of flashes of brilliance, but the consistency of excellence is gone forever. Sure, you can hang around and make some cuts, maybe even pull one out here or there, but it won't be the same. The only player to come back and become a consistent contender after serious injury was Ben Hogan and he went through HELL to keep playing. Most players would not go through that struggle even with the wonders of modern medicine.

[@michaelhull63]

Well Wei certainly hope so

[@steveclayton3314]

I sure hope so. She has always been exciting to watch and is definitely an asset to the game.

[@24Golf]

Absolutely agree!

[@bc170]

Most certainly she’ll come back … in the Senior LPGA. After all, she’s the Tiger Woods of the lady’s tour.

Michelle should make a comeback. If she does, she needs to NOT WEAR a watch on her wrist when hitting woods and irons. There is too great a possibility of vibration hurting her wrists. Even if she is getting paid by a sponsor, she needs to arrange to only wear the watch as she comes up the ninth and eighteenth to the green. Putting with a watch on should not hurt her.

[@fwily2580]

Dana Kirkpatrick liked this video. Finally someone more hyped than her.

[@mdm9966]

If she spent as much time practicing as changing her hair color, a comeback might be possible.

[@kevinkline7242]

Michele Wie had chronic wrist problems which make it tough to golf well.

I think she is awesome for the sport but near term goals are simple; stay healthy, learn some course management, and please get your putting to a place where you have some confidence in your pace.

[@miltonmatthews2138]

Wie suffered the same fate as Anna Sorenstam - tried to play in men's golf and screwed up her swing by trying to keep up with the men. Both lost all after their attempts at glory. You can't get blood out of a turnip and you can't make a woman into a man or vice versa.

[@babayaga5392]

What are you talking about? Anna Sorenstam didn't screw up her swing trying to compete on the PGA. She played one Men's event in 2003 and after that she played for 5 more years and over that stretch she won 28 tournaments, 6 of which were Majors.
