"As soon as the docs say I'm fully recovered, I will be back practicing and playing, but for now I'm going to listen to them and lay low."

Wie who won the 2014 U.S. Women's Open, has seven top-10 finishes in 17 starts this season.

In July, she withdrew during the second round of the U.S. Women's Open at Trump National Bedminster because of muscle spasms in her neck. (Editing by Gene Cherry)
