Sorenstam Expecting First Child

One of the reasons Swedish LPGA champ, Annika Sorenstam gave for retiring from golf last year was that she wanted to start a family. It appears that they wasted little time. The 38-year old Sorenstam announced today on her blog that she and husband, Mike Mcgee are expecting their first child in the fall.

“We have had a lot of exciting changes in the past few months, and adding a new addition to our family later this fall will certainly be at the top of that list,” Sorenstam said on her blog. “We are absolutely thrilled and look forward to this new chapter of our lives.”

Sorenstam was one of the most successful woman golfers in history. Before retiring in 2008, she had 70 career LPGA wins, including ten majors. She and McGee were married in January of 2009.
