Wrist injuries and starting a family made Michelle Wie consider retiring. The truth is no one really can retire from a sport they love. Wie has returned to golf. Sometimes a period of rest to recharge is the best for some athletes. The demands of competition become intense and injuries can be debilitating. Her wrist had to be surgically repaired. The wonderful news is that the surgery did not effect her golf swing. Wie has been away from golf since 2018. More good news has come with Wie joining the LPGA board. Her goals are to get more Asian, African, and Latino women involved in golf. Her intent also is to promote women's sport more through media. Michelle Wie's win at the US Women's Open shows that she still is a formidable athlete in the sport. Being absent for a certain period time does make it difficult to acclimate to a sports competition environment.
