Michelle Wie on the verge of turning pro

ENDORSEMENT Already hobnobbing with celebrities like Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman and Placido Domingo, the 15-year-old golfer is set to start earning big money

B.J. Wie declined to discuss endorsement opportunities, but he noted that his daughter -- who made straight A's in the spring semester while playing three US LPGA Tour events -- wants to graduate with her class and still wants to purse a business degree, preferably at Stanford University.

"She wants to complete her schooling and be in control of her own business empire," swing coach David Leadbetter said.

"I would say there's no question she's got some great goals, more than being a golfer. She's learning Chinese, Japanese. She soaks up so much information," he said.
