Michelle Wie Engaged to Jonnie West, Son of NBA Legend Jerry West

American golf star Michelle Wie could trade 18 holes for hoops after announcing her engagement to Jonnie West, the son of Los Angeles Lakers legend Jerry West.

Wie took to Instagram on Sunday and shared photos of the couple's proposal along with the caption: "My person for life!!!!! #WieGoesWest."

West, 30, serves as director of basketball operations for the Golden State Warriors, who currently lead the NBA's Pacific Division and are on course to contest another Finals this season.

His father, Jerry, spent a 15-year playing career with the Lakers and won the 1972 NBA championship, one of 14 years in which he was also named an NBA All-Star.
