Annika Sorenstam announced on her website today that she got engaged to Mike McGee this morning. McGee manages the Annika brand, so I’m sure he’ll be fine when she doesn’t change her name to Annika McGee.

She said the engagement marked the two year anniversary of the first weekend they spent together. Two years ago today would have been August 25, 2005, which was three days after her divorce from David Esch became final. She filed the papers 6 months earlier so perhaps the weekend was a celebration. Now they have something else to celebrate.

The AP article that’s making the rounds on many golf websites points out that no date has been set for a wedding. Is that such a big deal? I don’t think too many people set the date the same day they get engaged. Give ’em a minute to enjoy it!

Congratulations to Mike on scooping up one of the best golfers in the world and someone who seems like a sincerely sweet person.

Best wishes to Annika for a long and happy life with someone who must be worthy.
