Professional career

After a decently well amateur career, Michelle decided to turn professional in 2005. However, she could not earn her LPGA Tour card until 2009. She played on the leading American women's golf tour quite often but could not record a win during 2005 and 2009.

Michelle Wie West's breakthrough season was in 2009. She won the Lorena Ochoa Invitational after defeating Paula Creamer by two strokes and earned a paycheck of $220,000.

In 2010, she recorded her second victory on the LPGA Tour. She won the CN Canadian Women's Open after defeating the likes of Jee Young Lee, Kristy McPherson, Suzann Pettersen, and Jiyai Shin by three strokes.

Until 2014, Michelle Wie West experienced a win drought on the American Golf Tour. She recorded multiple top-10 finishes and earned a decent sum. But she tasted her third victory at the LPGA Lotte Championship in the same year. She even won her first major this season which was the U.S. Women's Open, that came after defeating Stacy Lewis.

Her fifth and last victory to date came at the HSBC Women's World Championship in 2018.
