Martin Kaymer: World's No. 3 golfer to looper

Some criticized Martin Kaymer for withdrawing from the Chevron World Challenge, hosted by Tiger Woods, after he won the European Tour’s money title, particularly since he gave no reason. Naturally, it was easy to jump to the conclusion that Kaymer’s pockets were too heavy to play in an event all the way in California. But yesterday, Golf365.com’s Matt Cooper noticed that the world No. 3’s girlfriend Alison Micheletti was playing as an amateur in LET Q-school.

And today, thanks to a story on the LET website via Golf365.com, our instincts were right! — Kaymer surprised Alison with his arrival. (Cue for the ladies, including yours truly, to go, “Awww.” In fact, he may be my new favorite player)

Alison Micheletti congratulates boyfriend Martin Kaymer at the PGA Championship

Martin Kaymer’s girlfriend Alison Micheletti, who played on the Furman University golf team, is playing this week’s Ladies European Tour Qualifying School as an amateur, according to Golf365.com’s Matt Cooper.

Which may explain why Kaymer withdrew from the Chevron World Challenge. Perhaps he decided to support Micheletti or even caddie for her.

If that’s the case, it’s very understandable why he pulled out of the Chevron. And they say pro golfers are selfish!
