I have no doubt that pros withdraw every week; the question is, how many of them are in her special niche where if they shoot an 88 they get the boot for a year? Now, add on, how many of THOSE players mysteriously injure their wrist when they're pretty close to the one year ban? Now, add on, how many of those players, in that special niche, who had a mysterious injury, were then seen practicing not long after wards? For you to pretend this was not at all a special situation, and therefore didn't deserve much coverage nor criticism, is disingenuous to say the least.
As for the 88-and-out rule, you sound like people I know who defend Nadal and Sharapova, both of whom have received illegal coaching during their tennis matches, by saying that the rule against coaching is "stupid." It may be, and it may NOT be, but that doesn't change the fact that you don't get to ignore, break, or get around rules just because you don't like them. Golfers are forever babbling about how their game is one of honor, integrity, and following the rules-where's the honor in a transparent injury done to get around a rule, then insulting people's intelligence by insisting nothing was wrong with being seen practicing a short time later? Does Sorenstam have a history of recklessly running her mouth and ripping players who don't deserve it?
On a somewhat different subject, am I to understand that you believe that Wie is more promising than another player (who I'm guessing is the same age or even younger) who has more majors than Wie has wins of any kind? And, are you still denying that Wie has gotten worse in the last year or so?

Wie has played very well in the LPGA majors. Very well.

As far as taking a step back she was right there in the US Open last year (women's). Since then she has taken some steps back but most of that has been in LPGA events
