Sorenstam - Reading Between The Lines
I know I’ve said that Annika Sorenstam still has the drive, motivation, and game to be the best in the world for another couple of years for sure. But from reading Annika’s comments lately about her excitement about life after golf (and specifically about her golf academy), I’m becoming less convinced. And that’s not a bad thing at all. Annika needs to do what’s best for her and if her post-golf life is calling, then she should pursue it.
And it would be easy to say that the influx of younger players might be pushing her harder towards retirement, but I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. I think the timing of the tour getting younger is key, but not the players themselves, simply because she can whip them all if push comes to shove, most of the time. However, because the LPGA tour is the healthiest its been in many years, she knows she walk away knowing the LPGA will continue to thrive.
Two years ago it was easy to assume that Michelle Wie was going to be the next big thing on the LPGA and she would overshadow everyone, including Sorenstam. But now, I think everyone realizes Wie has a lot of maturing to do and tons of confidence to get back before she can be considered a legitimate threat any longer.
