Annika Sorenstam is one of the most celebrated names in women’s golf. The former world no.1 has shattered many records and held many wins under her belt throughout her illustrious career. Having won over 74 LPGA titles and making over 22 million dollars in her lifelong tryst with the sport, no one can question her place as one of the best in the sport. But off the greens, it is her husband, Mike McGee, who is winning at the social media game.
In a heartwarming gesture, Mike McGee celebrated his son’s birthday with thought-provoking remarks that will speak to every parent seeing their child grow on X and Instagram. “Happy birthday buddy. When you survived your early arrival & then thrived, we knew you were special”. Mike added, “You have since proven that over & over,” praising Will’s courageous journey from his premature birth to the extraordinary young man he has grown into. Will, who himself once took to wishing his dad, would surely be elated.
Happy b-day buddy. When you survived your early arrival & then thrived, we knew you were special. You have since proven that over & over. You’re thoughtful & mature beyond your years & humble & kind like your mom. You’re destined for greatness. You make us proud & we love you. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/yVSk48drPk
