Michelle Sung Wie (born October 11, 1989 in Honolulu, Hawaii) is a professional American golfer who has gained attention for her long drives and attempts to make a cut at a PGA Tour event. In 2006, she was named in a Time magazine article, "one of 100 people who shape our world."
Wie is a Korean American. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, she began playing the game of golf at the age of four. When Wie was 11, she shot a personal-best 64 in 18 holes from the 5,400-yard tees at the Olomana Golf Links, one of Hawaii's most popular links style courses. That year, she became the youngest player to qualify for a USGA amateur championship and advanced into match play at the Women's U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship using her grandmother's clubs.
In 2002, Wie won the Hawaii Open Women's Division by thirteen shots over LPGA pro Cindy Rarick. She also became the youngest player to qualify for an LPGA event, the Takefuji Classic and missed the cut.
