With shifted priorities, Michelle Wie West named Solheim Cup assistant captain

Michelle Wie West last struck a shot in competition more than a year ago, but she continues to be a headliner in the women’s game.

Since her last LPGA start, a tear-filled appearance at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in June of 2019, when Wie West’s worsening hand and wrist injuries made her future look so uncertain, she has married, dabbled part-time as a television analyst and become a mother.

Now, she’s adding yet another new role.

U.S. Solheim Cup captain Pat Hurst named Wie West one of her assistant captains on Thursday.
