You’re gonna debate differently?

The wrist isn’t nearly as bad as she claims. She has a history of sudden illnesses and injury almost always mid tournament when she’s sucking it up. Pick a body part, and she’s hurt it. This has been questioned by other pros openly which is significant in itself. She doesn’t do well under pressure something she’s had to deal with at a very young age. I don’t actually blame her for that.

No, but it's your fourth half baked arguement in a thread not about that.

Is that from the fact that she's trying to play hurt? Neither of us k ow that, yet you act like you do when it's pretty clear this could be a career ending injury.

If her career is over, it’s because she isn’t good enough.

And I glossed over this because it was so stupid... you comparing her injuries to Tiger.

1) Tiger didn’t really start dealing with injuries till his 30s. 2007ish.
2) Tiger’s physicality and the forces he put on his body are way more strenuous than anything Wei can muster. The fact that you compare the two is laughable.
3) Tiger falling apart had more to do with the military training he was doing away from golf than the actual golf itself.

Injuries and I hear her work ethic is not elite.

I played football most my life and rugby seriously until I turned 29. You can pick up as many aches putting your body under the torque of a golf swing as you can doing anything else.

These girls are going all out, it’s not your average hacker at the country club swinging a 7 iron 65 mph

Aches? Is that what the threshold is here?

No, aches was just the word I chose to use. You can pick up as many injuries, just less broken noses etc.


She’s clearly injured. You don’t have surgery for non issues. I doubt the hype she had early in her career has anything to do with that.

She’s a 5 time winner on tour and a major champion. She has had a fine career and has nothing to apologize for.

She was suppose to dominate and have 20+ women’s majors.

It's pretty clear that she isn't in love with golf and there's nothing wrong with that, but she missed the cut by a shot at like 14 in a PGA Tour event

Wie’s biggest problem from the start has been her parents. If they would have backed off she may have been the best ever.

AK didn’t retire due to a wrist injury.

She parties her arse off. Like, nights before tournament rounds. Pops Molly in night clubs a few times a week. And loves the dick.

A couple buddies on lower tours have partied with her a couple times.

Whatever floats her boat. She’s a young millionaire, can’t really say I’d be much better

She’s engaged to Jerry West’s grandson

Ell has been spot on in this thread. 5 wins with 1 Major was supposed to be accomplished by Wie midway through her second year as a pro.

She has never fulfilled her potential, and when she really struggles she finds a mysterious injury to blame.

But as pointed out by Catepillar, she’s a multi-millionaire and living a much better life than I. So congrats for that.

Yet another issue where you simply don't know what you're talking about. She's had at least one surgery. There's a very visible lump in the wrist.
