WMA Ended Relationship With Wie Before Her Move To IMG

Report Has Wie Being Fired By WMA Prior To Her Signing With IMG

WINNING CURES EVERYTHING: In Honolulu, Ferd Lewis noted Wie in her career has "pocketed millions of dollars in endorsements and sponsorships, gone through umpteen caddies and three agents, not to mention injuries and controversies." There is "only so much spin even IMG ... can supply to flagging production," which is why it "behooves her to demonstrate success." Wie turns 20 years old in October, and the "phenom designation has faded in the face of an onslaught by other young players who have been winning," as others have "not only won but done it in LPGA majors." And Wie's "lucrative sponsorship deals that are reported to pay in the ballpark of $12[M] annually are in the waning months" (HONOLULU ADVERTISER, 3/24).
