But later, her husband recalled an incident from their early days together. “One of the first things that you ever told me about my golf swing. You told me not to do something,” he claimed.

“And then literally a month later, we were hitting balls together. And you told me to do that. I’m like, you literally have told me for the last month not to do this. And you’re like no, I never said that. And like uh, okay, yeah, you did,” Wie’s husband recalled, which left Wie defending herself.

Since her last appearance on the golf course at the 2022 U.S. Open, Wie has left fans to speculate on her golf career. Once hailed as one of the most talented golfers in the circuit, she broke ground early in her career.

At merely 10 years old, she became the youngest player to qualify for a USGA amateur championship. She followed that feat by subsequently becoming the youngest winner of the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links and the youngest to qualify for the LPGA Tour.

But Wie was prone to various injuries across her career, which made it difficult for her to showcase her talents. She succeeded in winning a major championship, though, at the 2014 U.S. Open, which she claimed was a dream come true for her.
