Michelle Wie playing on PGA Tour

What is up with Michelle Wie? This week, the young golf phenom skipped a major to play on the PGA Tour, which had a lot of her fellow competitors scratching their heads.

Wie skips a major, and some wonder why

Wie, who is managed by her parents, was listed in qualifying for the Women's British Open at Sunningdale. But she pulled out and instead has a sponsor's exemption for the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open at Reno, Nevada. She has yet to win on the women's tour and has never made the cut on the PGA Tour.

It's been a rough professional start for her, but lately she seems to be returning to form (scorecard mishap aside). I'm sure she has a lot of people giving her advice and telling her what to do... isn't anyone telling her she should concentrate on getting back in the game and winning?
