LONDON (Reuters) -American Michelle Wie is scheduled to make her debut in the Dubai Ladies Masters at the Emirates Golf Club next month.
The young Hawaiian, who has had a successful rookie season on the LPGA Tour and made her Solheim Cup debut when the U.S. beat Europe 16-12 in Illinois in August, will be one of the main attractions at the December 9-12 Ladies European Tour event.
"Her presence will bring star value to the event," golf in Dubai chief executive Mohamed Juma Buamaim said in a news release on Wednesday. "Michelle may be just 20 but... she has done wonders to raise the profile of women's golf."
