Michelle Wie West made the decision to retire from professional golf despite her thriving career so far with five LPGA Tour wins. And she ended her professional career playing the same major she won in 2014, the US Women’s Open. Given she is a previous winner, the buzz was even more this year on Pebble Beach for the former LPGA star’s last hole, where she made a beautiful 30-foot putt

Now, a month after her farewell, Wie West is seen indulging herself in new sporting escapades. Let’s take a look at her newly found interest.

Michelle Wie West had to bid goodbye to the golf world real early. And the reason for her retirement was not one but several. She has a daughter now to take care of and had been subjected to injuries as well, which is why she had to take this life-altering decision. Wie West even has arthritis in both her arms and had to go through surgery on her right hand after being diagnosed with a fracture and nerve entrapment. 

But as the saying goes a sportsperson cannot abstain from the temptation of field and sports for long, so is the situation with this former LPGA Pro as well. She has taken up a new interest. And her new sporting escapade is boxing.
