Michelle Wie

The now-30-year-old Wie has the distinction of being the youngest woman ever to compete in a PGA Tour event. She was only 14 years old when she played the 2004 Sony Open. A second-round 68 helped her get within a stroke of making the cut. Ultimately, that was a feat that Wie would never pull off despite playing seven more PGA Tour events – on sponsor exemptions – from 2004 to 2008.
