She put up the caption “IM DEAD 🤣 In my mind, I felt sooo much more athletic than this🤣🤣🤣 Helpppppppppp”, as she tagged many tennis players in the story including Eugenie Bouchard, Caroline Wozniacki, and Serena’s husband.
Ohanian, in his Instagram story, hilariously replied: “I’m obviously not the one to help but we could use your skills with @wearelagc [we are Los Angeles Golf Club).”

Michelle Wie West’s post-retirement chapter
After her initial retirement as a pro-golfer due to her many injuries, she had come back for a final gesture of nostalgia in the 2023 US Women’s Open. Although the five-time LPGA star failed to make the cut as she went on to score 73 (+2) and 74 (+3) in her first two rounds, she had proved herself to be a pillar of inspiration for many.
While being away from the game, the ex-pro golfer has been much active off the course from teaming up with sponsors to promoting women’s golf. Earlier she had collaborated with Nike to design a new version of the Air Jordan 1 Golf “Wave” which was sold out in just 5 minutes.
