Six months after undergoing surgery to repair multiple ailments within her right hand, Michelle Wie announced she is going to “take some time away” to more fully heal.
Wie made the announcement Tuesday on Instagram and Twitter, while also withdrawing from this week’s Hugel-Air Premia LA Open.
“Had an encouraging visit with my doctor, however, we both think it’s in my best interest to take some time away to allow my body to heal properly and get stronger,” Wie wrote. “Health is my top priority right now and hopefully I can get back to being pain free real soon.
