Michelle Wie won’t give it up. She tells the Yonhap News Agency in Seoul that she still wants to play against men.

The assumption was that she would be more fully committed to the LPGA after earning her tour card in qualifying this month.

That’s still possible. But she’s obviously not backing away from the challenge of playing against the PGA’s best as well.

‘I assure you I hold no grudges against men,’ she told the agency.

‘Just because I qualified for the LPGA, it doesn’t mean my goal changed. One of the reasons I started golf was to play against men. It hasn’t changed.’

Wie added that as an athlete, she has completely transformed herself since recovering from last year’s wrist injury and no longer feels like a ‘youngling.’
