Lee Westwood puts family first in order to resurrect his game

WOBURN, England –– Lee Westwood has other things on his mind right now besides trying to get a small white ball into a tiny dark hole.

He’s trying to get his life back together.

Westwood quit the PGA Tour last month and is back on the European Tour full time for the foreseeable future. The move has been forced upon him. It’s the only way he can stay in touch with his children, Sam and Poppy.

The 42-year-old Englishman and wife Laurae separated this summer after 16 years of marriage. Laurae and the children have moved back to Edinburgh, Scotland, to be near her family.
