ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — In a year without victories on the golf course, Annika Sorenstam had plenty of reason to celebrate Saturday when she announced she is getting married.
"What a lovely surprise," Sorenstam said. "I'm as happy as I can be."
Sorenstam said Mike McGee, her boyfriend of two years, popped the question Saturday morning at their home in Orlando, Fla. They have not set a date.
It will be the second marriage for the 36-year-old Swede, who filed for divorce from David Esch in February 2005. She began seeing McGee, a former sports agent and son of golfer Jerry McGee, later that summer. McGee now works as managing director of the "Annika" business brand, which includes clothing, golf course design and a golf academy.
Sorenstam lost her No. 1 ranking to Lorena Ochoa earlier this year and has failed to win on the LPGA Tour for the first time since her rookie season. She missed two months in the spring with back and neck injuries.
