TOP STORYLINES

LPGA IS BACK
Golf Channel described the 2014 LPGA season like this: “Perhaps not even Mike Whan could have envisioned a season like this.”

That’s what the 2015 season has to live up when it kicks off on Wednesday at the Coates Golf Championship Presented by R&L Carriers. But with all the stories 2014 created, 2015 could be even more enthralling.

How will Michelle Wie answer a career year in which she won twice, including her first major at the U.S. Women’s Open? What’s act two for an American contingent that won 13 times in 2014 and can the European team hold off a strong American team for the third consecutive time at the Solheim Cup in September?

And of course, there’s Stacy Lewis versus Inbee Park, the two players who have passed back and forth the No. 1 ranking and the season’s biggest end-of-year awards for the last three consecutive years.

BUSY OFFSEASON HAS WIE READY FOR 2015
Coming off the most successful season of her career, Michelle Wie spent her off-season enjoying herself away from the course.
“I had so much fun this off season,” Wie said. “I hiked a lot, did a lot of yoga, got to see a lot of my friends, didn’t touch a single golf club. I did swing a couple during the Nike shoot, so that was a little mid vacation break there, but it was a lot of fun.”
Some of the fun activities that Wie enjoyed included sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden for a Knicks game, New Year’s Eve in the Bahamas and even a brief acting stint on the hit TV show Hawaii 5-0.
“It was very nerve racking. I also thought I was only in one scene, I kind of just looked over the script. I was actually in two scenes and had a lot more lines than I imagined, but they were very good to me. The actors were very helpful. It was also really amazing to see people who are so good at their craft. Being an actor you just don’t realize all the hard work that they put into it. And it just seems so easy on TV, looks like they’re just living out normal life, but there’s so much work that goes into it. I mean, it was really interesting and very eye opening.”
While Wie enjoyed her time off she is ready to get back after it on the golf course.
“I was getting a little antsy in the last part it,” Wie admitted. “I was like, okay, I want to start practicing now, get back into a rhythm. So I was very refreshed going back to 2015.”
