Behind the Greens: A Candid Chat with Lizette Salas and Michelle Wie West

Michelle: Hey Lizette! Long time no see. What’s new and exciting in your world?

Lizette: Hey Michelle! Oh, you know how it goes—practice, tournaments, rinse, repeat. But I did just get back from a quick trip home. Family time is always the best reset. How about you? How’s the transition to your new role in broadcasting?

Michelle: It’s been surprisingly smooth, actually. I thought I’d miss the competitive edge of playing more, but analyzing the game from a different angle has its own thrills. Plus, I get to spend more time with my daughter. How’s your little niece doing?

Lizette: She’s a ball of energy and sass, keeps our entire family on our toes. I still can’t believe how fast she’s growing. Speaking of dynamics, I saw you interviewed Tiger Woods the other day. How nerve-racking was that?

Michelle: Oh, my gosh, Lizette! It was insane. I mean, it’s Tiger! My palms were sweating like it was my first tournament all over again. But, honestly, he was so chill and genuine. We talked about mentorship and how we can give back to the upcoming talent. Speaking of, do you have any upcoming mentoring projects?

Lizette: Definitely. I’m working on a junior clinic in SoCal aimed at Hispanic kids. I want to open up golf to communities where it’s not the first sport you think of. Growing up, I didn’t see many people who looked like me in the sport, and I want to change that narrative. Got any tips from your experience?

Michelle: That’s incredible, Lizette! Honestly, just be your authentic self. Kids can sense when you’re being genuine and they respond to it. And remember, it’s okay to show them that even pros like us have off days. Perseverance is key.

Lizette: Absolutely. I try to tell them that every swing doesn’t have to be perfect; consistency and heart go a long way. Oh, by the way, did you catch that last-minute clutch putt I made at the Solheim Cup? I was definitely channeling my inner “Wie” on that one!

Michelle: I did! That was epic, Lizette. You had everyone on the edge of their seats! Moments like those remind me why I love this game so much. Whether you’re playing or watching, it’s all about those heart-stopping, game-changing moments.

Lizette: Couldn’t agree more. It’s those moments that keep us coming back to the greens, no matter how tough it gets. Alright, I’ve got to head out for practice, but let’s catch up again soon. Maybe we can plan a mini-golf outing for old times’ sake?

Michelle: Sounds like a plan! Take care, Lizette, and keep making those game-changing putts.

Lizette: Thanks, Michelle! Talk soon.

Until Next Time!
