Annika Sorenstam recently announced her retirement from golf at age 37 at the end of this season. Despite winning just last weekend at the Michelob Ultra Open, she’s ready to call it a career. Perhaps moments like this had something to do with it:
As pucksandbooks noted, whereas in hockey age 37 is getting up there (don’t tell Chris Chelios that), in golf it’s pretty much a player’s prime. He was also convinced that while Michelob and its Ultra brand were indeed the tourney’s sponsors, compelling a champion to actually drink it is a sinister and cruel act, worthy almost certainly of a DOJ investigation/civil rights lawsuit.
If I were her, I would have sprayed it, NASCAR-style, instead of sipping it. Much easier on the constitution.

No wonder she called it quits. I would have too if that’s what they offered as a celebratory drink at the final hole.
You know, we all can’t be beer snobs
What do you mean drink at the final hole? I thought there was a beer cart every fourth hole.
Finally, a beer that allows me to appreciate the rich, full-bodied taste of Coors Light…
The gf and I were talking about this yesterday. Most people retire and start living on the golf course, but what do golfers do when they retire? Go to work? Attend meetings?
That’s funny, Victor.
I’m no lawyer, but I know a human being in discomfort/agony. In a moment of champion’s triumph last Sunday, Annika in this image is anything but euphoric. I’d rather have been handed a plastic cup of White Zin poured from a box. And that’s saying something.
You mean there is actually a professional golf association for women?
JR – Google image “Natalie Gulbis” and get back to me.
I actually like Ultra. Maybe it’s because I drink so much of it, given that there’s a stand with a short line behind Section 110.
After contemplating the above mentioned photos I have determined that Annika Sorenstam is a man.
Didn’t you guys ever see Juwanna Man?
