The young and dynamic golfer Michelle Wie in a career spanning only few years has earned for herself a name and reputation that most spend life time only dreaming about. Like a star on the horizon with each passing year she shines more brightly and is now not only counted as the golfer to look out for but is actually the player that other can very well emulate, on the course and off it too. As serious and careful about her education as she is about her golf, Michelle Wie who is studying in the third year at the Stanford is also thoroughly enjoying her rookie season on the Rolex sponsored LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) tour. Comfortably ranked 14^th in the Rolex World Ranking she is likely to take a break from her college classes next month to become a part of the Rolex sponsored LPGA Tour Championship.

LPGA Tour Championship presented by Rolex is going to take place in the month of November from 17^th to 22^nd at the popular Houstonian Golf and Country Club in Richmond, Texas. LPGA Tour Championship attracts the best of the women golfers from across the world who will be playing their best golf to get their hands on the rich purse of $1.5 million and the satisfaction of winning against the best of their peers. Michelle Wie would not find it easy to win or even score a place among the top considering the kind of tough field that is likely to be vying for the top honors at the tournament. There are going to be 120 LPGA professionals who would make a start in the LPGA Tour Championship. These women
golfers are going to be picked from the official LPGA Money List implying that the best top 120 players are going to make the cut. In a field as strong as this it can never be easy for anyone.

The LPGA Tour Championship presented by Rolex will be a 72-hole stroke play tournament and Michelle Wie will have to play consistently all along to make sure she can get a shot at the trophy and winner’s check. After the first 36 holes the field would be pruned to 70 golfers and which will be further reduced to only 30 at the end of the 54 holes. Competing against the best is never easy for anyone and the same is true for Michele Wie. But considering the fact that this is her rookie season on the LPGA tour and still she is ranked among the top 15 in the Rolex World Ranking speaks volumes of the capabilities she possesses, the depth of talent that defines her and the performances she can be trusted to come out with. If her performance on various fronts is to be taken into account then she is ranked 6^th in putting as well as rounds under par and driving average. In fact she is just outside top 10 when it comes to scoring thus ensuring that she is a possible threat to anyone on a given day. She might be coming off after a small break for her studies but she stands good chance of becoming a winner at the LPGA Tour Championship presented by Rolex.
