2006
Her third professional start was in January 2006, at the PGA Tour Sony Open at her home course at the Waialae Country Club, Hawaii; she missed the cut again, this time by four strokes.
In February 2006, the initial Rolex World Golf Rankings placed Wie third in the world, behind Annika Sörenstam and Paula Creamer. As of July 31, 2006, Wie ranked second behind Sörenstam. To remain in the rankings, she needed to accumulate a minimum of 15 world-wide professional women's tournaments in the preceding twenty-four months. She dropped off the rankings for a brief time during the spring of 2006. However, the procedure for calculating the Rolex Rankings was revised, effective immediately, on August 3, 2006.
