Annika Sorenstam, female golfer extraordinaire – well known for winning a lot of international tournaments (90 in total) and making a lot of money in the process (over $22 million) – retired from the sport last December to pursue building a business and a family. A month later she married her long-time boyfriend Mike McGee and now today she has more “family building” news: She’s pregnant!
Announced from her blog this morning, Anna let the world know that the happy couple would be “adding a new addition to [their] family later this fall” and that they were “absolutely thrilled.”
And good for them says this Twirlit blogger. It’s good to see a smart and talented woman who knows what she wants go out and get it. Wanted to become one of the world’s greatest golfers? Done. Start a successful business and lovely family? Done and done. And all at the tender age of thirty eight.
Annika Sorenstam, you have my congratulations. May your dreams continue to come true.
great news, but I wonder if she’ll ever get back into golfing. Annika, after all, was a great inspiration for me as a young golfer.
I definitley think she will. She’s a role model for all future women golfers and she’s the best! Congrats!
