SUNNINGDALE, England (AP) — Michelle Wie skipped a major to play on the PGA Tour this week. Annika Sorenstam, Helen Alfredsson and Paula Creamer wonder why.


After all, Wie has yet to win on the women''s tour and has never made the cut on the PGA Tour.


Wie, who is managed by her parents, was listed in qualifying for the Women''s British Open at Sunningdale. But she pulled out and instead has a sponsor''s exemption for the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open at Reno, Nev. It is her eighth PGA Tour event.


Sorenstam is playing in her final major before she leaves golf at the end of the season. She is chasing her 11th major and 73rd title. She made a brief foray on the PGA Tour but questioned Wie''s decision to duck a women''s major.


"Well, we all have different agendas in life," Sorenstam said. "I had a wonderful experience and, when I look back on my career, I will always think about that. I think it was really a turning point in my career and as a person.


"I really don''t know why Michelle continues to do this. We have a major this week and, if you can''t qualify for a major, I don''t see any reason why you should play with the men."
