Mariah Imani Stackhouse is being compared to Tiger Woods, and I am not sure that is even a great comparison anymore. Regardless, she could be for the LPGA what Tiger was for the PGA. She has not just made a name for herself in the amateur arena, she is setting standards and making history. Mariah is the youngest female to have won the Georgia Women’s Amateur Championship in its 80-year history. She has just received an invite from top LPGA player, Christina Kim, to compete in the first-ever Mojo 6 (www.themojo6.com), a unique golf tournament in Jamaica, April 15-16, 2010.
