When asked if her kids were into other sports as well, Sorenstam replied, “We’ve kinda slowed down on all the other sports.” She added, “He’s a golf nut. I pick him up at school, he heads straight to the range, he meets his buddies over there, they practice and then they play”.
Sorenstam also explained how technology has been helping her easily find Will whenever he plays in the dark. “It gets dark, I have to go find him. Luckily he has a cellphone, I can do the ‘iPhone Find’. I find him on the seventh hole, I go and pick him up!”
