She is the first woman to try and qualify for play in the men's golf tournaments. The PGA, Professional Golf Association, sponsors these tournaments. As such a young star of golf, Wie has been able to generate enough excitement to have several sponsors. Wie is a Korean American born in Honolulu, Hawaii. She lives with her parents in Honolulu.
