MICHELE WIE IS WORSENOW AT 17 THAN SHE
WAS AT 14 - SAYS
BUTCH HARMON
Butch Harmon, one-time coach to Tiger Woods, won’t be getting any Christmas cards in future from Michelle Wie and her family.
The Sky TV golf pundit, who made his name as coach to the emerging Tiger Woods and now guides young Australian Adam Scott, has some very harsh things to say about the Wies in an article by Mark Reason in today’s “Sunday Telegraph."
"The whole thing is absolutely ridiculous," says Harmon.
"Michelle has regressed. She is worse now at 17 than she was at 14. To continue telling us that she is getting better by playing with the men is an insult.
“She says it's a learning experience. What is she learning by finishing last? It's hurting her mentally.
"She should go play with the women and dominate that competition first. “But the whole Michelle Wie camp is about money. The biggest difference between Earl [Woods, the father of Tiger] and B J [Wie, Michelle's dad] is that Earl didn't worry about money.
“Earl knew it was more important for Tiger to learn to win and then the money would take care of itself. But Michelle Wie wins nothing.
"You should invite her to the next member-guest competition at your home club and she might actually win something because what's going on now is ridiculous. And it's not good for the game of golf."
