Minjee Lee Catches Up with LPGA Legend Annika Sörenstam
Minjee Lee: Hey Annika! It’s so fantastic to finally catch up with you. I’ve always seen you as such an inspiration. How have you been?
Annika Sörenstam: Hi Minjee! Likewise, it’s great to see you. I’ve been doing well, keeping busy with various projects, including my foundation and a bit of course designing. And of course, cheering you on!
Minjee Lee: That’s amazing! Your work off the course is just as impressive as your playing career. Speaking of which, do you miss the grind of the tour?
Annika Sörenstam: There are parts I definitely miss, like the competition and camaraderie, but I also cherish the time I get to spend with my family now. How about you? How do you balance everything?
Minjee Lee: It’s a constant juggling act for sure! I try to stay grounded and focus on my goals, both in golf and outside of it. I’ve been trying to fit in some personal time – whether it’s reading a good book or exploring the cities I travel to for tournaments. Any tips?
Annika Sörenstam: Finding balance is key. Trust me, it takes practice just like your short game! Always carve out time for yourself and the things you love outside of golf. It prevents burnout. Any new hobbies lately?
Minjee Lee: Actually, I’ve been dabbling in painting! It’s so relaxing, though I wouldn’t exactly call myself a Picasso just yet. How about you? Any hidden talents you discovered post-retirement?
Annika Sörenstam: Painting, that sounds wonderful! For me, I’ve taken up cooking; it’s my stress reliever. It’s been a fun journey experimenting with different cuisines. Maybe next time, I’ll have to share some recipes with you. Imagine a cook-off between golfers!
Minjee Lee: That sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe we should start a golfer’s culinary show! On a more serious note, what would you say to young girls who look up to us in sports?
Annika Sörenstam: I would tell them to dream big and work hard. There will be ups and downs, but perseverance is crucial. And to never forget to enjoy the journey. You’re a prime example of that, Minjee. Any advice from your end?
Minjee Lee: Absolutely, I’d say be fearless and embrace challenges. Surround yourself with positive people and always stay passionate about what you do. And don’t be afraid to carve your own path—everyone’s journey is unique.
Annika Sörenstam: That’s great advice, Minjee. It’s been such a pleasure chatting with you. Let’s make sure to do this more often. Maybe next time, over a round of golf?
Minjee Lee: Definitely! It was wonderful catching up. Looking forward to our next chat and maybe even a friendly match. Take care, Annika!
Annika Sörenstam: You too, Minjee. Keep shining out there!
