THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Annika Sorenstam is feeling comfortable enough about her personal life that her boyfriend, Mike McGee, has become slightly more visible at tournaments. The Swedish star talked about her relationship in a recent interview with The Aftonbladet newspaper in Stockholm.

McGee is an agent for International Golf Partners, and the son of former PGA Tour player Jerry McGee. Sorenstam said they have known each other for about six years from parties and LPGA Tour functions.

“But it wasn’t until last winter that we reconnected so that our friendship grew strong and, well, now this is what came out of it,” she said.

Sorenstam said her divorce from David Esch was final on Aug. 22. McGee followed her matches at Solheim Cup. He also was at the ADT Championship, escorting her to the LPGA awards banquet at Mar-a-Lago.

She said it was a matter of time before people noticed they were together.

“I think what we have is great, but it hasn’t been anything I have wanted the whole world to know about,” she told the newspaper. “I am still struggling to move on. You can’t get over a divorce in just a few months. But being with Mike makes it a little easier. He helps me move on.”
