Former US Open champion Michelle Wie West is ending her retirement to compete at the 2025 US Women's Open at Riviera Country Club in June. The 36-year-old announced her comeback on social media, citing her final year of eligibility and the tournament's return to the iconic venue as motivating factors.

Wie West won her only major title at Pinehurst in 2014 and has been granted a two-year extension to her 10-year exemption due to maternity leave. Her last LPGA Tour appearance came at the US Open three years ago, after which she stepped away citing physical challenges from two decades of professional golf. The Hawaii native rose to prominence as a teenage prodigy, becoming the youngest to win an adult USGA championship at 13 and making the cut at an LPGA major at 14.

Her return follows her February announcement that she'll compete in the women's version of TGL later this year. With two children and years away from competitive play, Wie West's comeback adds intrigue to an already star-studded field at Riviera, where she'll attempt to recapture the form that made her one of golf's most promising talents.
