Michelle Wie West announced she will step away from the LPGA Tour after next month’s U.S. Women’s Open.
Wie West told Golfweek that the physical toll her body has taken, between having her first child in June 2020 and various injuries over the years, have made it harder to recover quickly after rounds.
“At times, if I do play a lot of golf,” she said, via Beth Ann Nichols, “I’m just in bed. Or I can’t lift (Makenna) up, and that scared me.”
Wie West has only played in one tournament this year, the Hilton Grand Tournament of Champions, where she finished with a last place +20 score over four rounds.
