Lets see how Michelle Wie's earnings compare with her PGA Tour fans Jeff Gove and Robert Allenby through October 28, 2006 (Mister Gove how are you doing in 2007 with out any Wie dollars being drawn to high profile PGA events you seem to do best in ? )

Player Years as Professional Golfer Total Official Earnings Number of Events Earnings per event Projected Earnings based on all players playing an equal number of events
Michelle Wie 1 $ 730,921 7 104,417 $2,923,676
Robert Allenby 15 $ 1,503,581 21 71,599 $2,004,772
Jeff Gove 12 $ 793,477 28 28,338 $793,477

  Interesting table isn't, too bad there is no way we determine how much each player contributed to the gate and purse. I mean we know the Jeff Gove is a big draw, far bigger draw then Michelle Wie, what you don't think so, you mean you think Michelle Wie's participation in the men's tournaments has more of an impact on the draw and purse size then Jeff ? Well how about Mr. Allenby, futurist extraordinaire ? What, you think Michelle Wie is a bigger draw than Robert Allenby and you actually think her presents in a golf tournament increases the gate ? Well duh, of course she 's a bigger draw ! And you can bet your life the Wie dollars that found there way into Mister Gove's and Mister Allenby's earnings were far greater than the amount of Gove dollars or Allenby dollars that found there way into Michelle Wie's earnings.

Now do we want to talk about endorsement money from various golf equipment and golf accessory manufacturers ?
