Petterson enjoying life as 'regular mom,' full-time LPGA future up in the air

There is a good reason Suzann Pettersen’s future as a player has been a mystery in the LPGA ranks since she last teed it up 18 months ago.

She isn’t sure herself whether she wants to return as a full-time player.

Pettersen is, however, certain about loving her new life as a mother to Herman Alexander. She gave birth to him nine months ago. She took the entire 2018 season off as maternity leave and hasn’t played an LPGA event since the CME Group Tour Championship in November of 2017.

“My initial plan was to return as quickly as I could after giving birth, but there is a time for everything in life, and I have not felt a massive need to get back to my usual (golf) life,” Pettersen told Golf Channel’s Morning Drive on Wednesday.
