Sorenstam’s new man, Mike McGee
You know what’s next, babies, and more babies. Annika and her fiance announced today they will be getting married. Could this be the end of the Annika dynasty?? Very few women have come back from motherhood to really play at the level they were prior to motherhood. Case in point, Lindsay Davenport in tennis, recently retired as she said her body has changed following pregnancy.
