She also has the effect of attracting more people to the game. Men Women and Children alike, and this can only be a good thing.

The question however begs to be asked "Is she really good enough to compete at this level" right now

This article below from Jaime Diaz at Golf world is one of the better ones I have read on the Wie phenomenom
