32-year old Michelle Wie West has decided to quit as a golfer to focus on other ventures. West's golfing career began at the age of just 16 when she became the youngest player to qualify for an LPGA tournament. Her last tournament will be in the US Women's Open. Michelle is going to work as a collaborator alongside Nike as the next step in her career.

Excited to announce the next phase of my career as I'll be stepping back from playing on the @lpga_tour full time. I'm so grateful for the past 14 years I spent on tour, traveling the world and competing against the best in the game. Excited to spend more time now on projects that I always wanted to do but never had time for and to continually work to help golf become a more diverse and inclusive space.
