Annika Sorenstam Will Retire at the End of 2008 Season
Tuesday May 13, 2008 | 13:18:40 76 words, 4655 views
Well, I’ll be. The Associated press is reporting that Annika Sorenstam is calling it quits at the end of this golf year to pursue business interests and, more importantly to start her own family. Go figure. Just as she appears to be ready to challenge Lorena Ochoa for the No. 1 spot again, c’est fini. This development will certainly add a little drama to every event she does enter, especially the Majors. Good luck. We’ll be watching. Comments:
I predict Tiger makes an early exit too. Depending on how things go I give him 5 or 6 more years at most. Frankly I really wonder if Woods wants to play now. People in the know said this knee injury was a complete surprise. On another topic we discussed previously Boo Weekley got a 1 shot penalty at The Players when the wind blew his ball 3 feet away as he was preparing to putt and others were standing around afraid to address putts. When are they going to change this rule ?

It's possible that Tiger Woods would drop his Tour membership at some point and only play in the Majors & WGC events. But as long as he has a chance to beat the best in the world, I don't see him quitting unless he was going to run for public office or something like that.
I saw that coverage of the Weekley situation and was thinking the same thing. It's a stupid rule, when the player has to replace the ball anyway. No advantage has been gained.

Run for public office? Well, I don't think he can do any worse than Gov Ventura or Gov Schwatzenegger. One would probably assume (because he's rich as h*ll) that he'd be a Republican too.
Woods for President 2012!

Wouldn't surprise me at all.

Shame if she quits. Some fun with it here:
