Wie, Michelle - Autographed Photo

Michelle Wie announced she was turning professional on October 5, 2005, a week before her 16th birthday.

In her first two tournaments on the LPGA Tour in early 2006, she gained a third place finish in the Fields Open in Hawaii finishing one stroke off the lead, and finished in a tie for third in the Kraft Nabisco Championship, again finishing one stroke behind. May 2006 saw her play the Asian Tour SK Telecom Open becoming the second woman (after Se Ri Pak) to make the cut at a men's tournament in South Korea.

After passing LPGA Qualifying School in December 2008, Wie declared that she still planned to play in tournaments against men. However for the second consecutive year, she did not receive a sponsor exemption to play in the Sony Open in Hawaii where she had played four years in a row from 2004 through 2007. Her first tournament as an LPGA member was the season-opening SBS Open at Turtle Bay where she shot 66, 70 to move into a tie with Angela Stanford going into the final round of the tournament. Wie held a three-stroke lead with eight holes remaining, but ended up losing to Stanford by three strokes.
