"I have made a decision to step away from competitive golf after this season," she said at the news conference, held at the site of this week's Sybase Classic. "Obviously this was a very difficult decision for me to make because I love this game so much. But it's the right one."

Her final event will be the Dubai Ladies Masters after the LPGA Tour season ends.
