Retired LPGA golfer Annika Sorenstam announced on her website today that she and her husband Mike McGee are expecting their first child. The couple were married in Orlando, Florida on January 10, 2009.
Sorenstam left golf in December 2008 after amassing 72 victories, including 10 majors. She said that she wanted to start a business and a family. Looks like things are going according to plan.
On Annika’s Blog she wrote: “We have had a lot of exciting changes in the past new months, and adding a new addition to our family later this fall will certainly be at the top of that list. We are absolutely thrilled and look forward to this new chapter in our lives.”
Sorenstam has a clothing line with Cutter & Buck, a limited wine label with Wente Vineyards and a signature scent by SA Fragrances. The talented athlete is currently involved in two redesign projects, one at Patriots Point Links Course in Charleston, South Carolina and the other at Red Mountain Resort in British Columbia.
To deal with her rapidly changing state, Annika and trainer Kai Fusser developed a prenatal workout to keep her finely tuned body as firm as a five iron. “Annika has been the most dominant female golfer in history and was twice given the Best Female Athlete ESPY Award,” Fusser says proudly. “She’s one of the fittest female athletes out there, and after childbirth she wants to regain her fitness quickly. This workout will give her a head start.”
"We have had a lot of exciting changes in the past few months, and adding a new addition to our family later this fall will certainly be at the top of that list," Sorenstam writes on her blog. "We are absolutely thrilled and look forward to this new chapter of our lives."
