In a recent press conference, the LPGA legend also shared her perspective on her post-retirement future with the Tour. She mentioned that she had been a part of the LPGA board and, over the years, had learnt about the business side of the tour. She added that while she did not have a job lined up, she wished to continue to find ways to give back to the tour.

“You know, the last, I call it maybe four or five years, I've been pretty involved in what's been going on behind the scenes of the tour. I was on the LPGA board. I was part of the last commissioner search. I was doing all the things I was doing with Solheim Cup for almost four years. So I really learned about the business side of the tour and it became more and more interesting to me. And so I hope to continue to make an impact on this tour,” she said.

She continued, “I did it while I was playing. I was able to help bring sponsors in and bring fans in and do it that way. But I want to continue to find ways to give back. And I don't know exactly what that looks like. I don't have a job lined up for sure, but I want to find ways to help because I love this tour. I love these girls who play. It's been so much fun to play against them and I want to continue to help give them the best opportunities they can.”
