GOLFWEEK STAFFAnnika Sorenstam and Mike McGee, her boyfriend of two years, were engaged Saturday morning at their home in Orlando, Fla.
“I’ve been carrying the ring around for a week, and it just seemed like the right time this morning,” McGee said. “She was relaxing peacefully at home with her cats and I know that’s when she is most content.”
No plans have been made yet for a wedding date.
McGee, the son of former PGA Tour player Jerry McGee, has served as managing director for the “Annika” brand of businesses since December 2006, when he relocated to Orlando.
Sorenstam, an eight-time LPGA player of the year, has struggled this year, losing her No. 1 world ranking to Lorena Ochoa earlier this year, and is looking at her first winless season on the LPGA Tour since her rookie season. Sorenstam, 36, missed two months this spring with back and neck injuries.
She married her first husband, David Esch, in January 1997. Divorce papers were filed in February 2005. Sorenstam began seeing McGee later that summer.
