More than a golf champion, Michelle Wie West is a pioneer who traded record-breaking scorecards for a seat at the table, forever changing how the world sees—and values—female athletes. By 10 years old, she was the youngest player to ever qualify for a USGA amateur event, and by 13, she became the youngest person to make a cut in an LPGA event. The Stanford graduate is a 5-time winner on the LPGA and a major championship winner (U.S. Women’s Open). She competed on five Solheim Cup teams, one International Crown, was the 2014 Rolex Major Award winner and now hosts the Mizuho Americas Open.
Since retiring from professional competition, Michelle Wie West has become a prolific angel investor and entrepreneur. She’s a minority owner for TGL - Los Angeles Golf Club (LAGC), joined the ownership group for Togethxr, and is an investor in Unrivaled. As an ambassador for the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games, Michelle is committed to using her platform to champion inclusion and celebrate the resilience of athletes who, like her, have spent their lives breaking down barriers while achieving their goals.
