Golf prodigyto turn pro

Golf superstar, Michelle Wie, will be turning 16 on Oct. 11, but sometime before that she will be turning pro. This change could happen as early as this week. After this change, she will be the highest-paid female golfer.

Wie will be signing deals with at least three major companies that will total around $8 million.

Sources, that wish to stay anonymous, say that her first appearance as a pro will be at the LPGA's Samsung World Championship. This tournament begins just two days after she turns 16.
