Educated Bet – The Science of Sports Betting

EducatedBet…Best Ever?

Annika Sorenstam will retire after the season, ending an LPGA Tour career in which she has won 72 tournaments to date and produced a defining moment when she teed it up against the men on the PGA Tour.

She announced her decision at a news conference Tuesday at the Sybase Classic in Clifton, N.J., opening her remarks with a relaxed smile. “The reason for this decision is that I have other priorities in my life,” Sorenstam said. Sorenstam, 37, has hinted at retirement the past several seasons, saying she wanted to devote more time to her growing business and her personal life.

She is engaged to Mike McGee, son of former PGA Tour player Jerry McGee, with the wedding planned for early 2009. The decision comes two days after Sorenstam won the Michelob Ultra Open at Kingsmill by seven shots for her third victory of the season, and first against a field that included Lorena Ochoa.

I thought that this was a story that I had to talk about because she is one of the best if not the best female golfers to ever play the game. At one point in her career she was like the Tiger for females. I dont really follow womens golf and I am sure alot of you dont either but we have all heard of this women and is one of the best female athletes in the world!
