While Wie didn’t reveal the nature of the camp, it could very well be the Nike Junior Golf Camps. The coaching organization provides junior golfers with all the tools and amenities to inculcate a general interest in the game. With over 200 locations nationwide, it also helps as a stepping stone for many junior golfers to test themselves in various tournaments.

But is Wie’s daughter following her mother’s footsteps by stepping onto golf? While fans would love the thought of its possibility, it’s still early days for the two-year-old.

However, the future could hold surprises for her, and who better than her mother to mentor her journey?

Furthermore, she became the youngest winner of the US Women’s Amateur Public Links event after her triumph in 2003.

Despite nagging injury concerns throughout her career, Wie succeeded in lifting her dream title – the US Women’s Open, in 2014. But will she return back to the sport for her endearing fans? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
