Especially on a day during which Foudy beat Wambach on the course.

“You can’t win everything, Abby,” Foudy joked. I spoke with the podcast pals and FIFA Women’s World Cup winners last Wednesday, moments after they completed a round at La Paloma Country Club just outside of Tucson. Wambach, who is widely regarded as the USA’s best-ever soccer player, helped the USA win the 2015 World Cup, and during her 14-year career scored 184 goals in 255 appearances for the U.

S. Women’s National Team. She’s also a huge golf enthusiast.

“I love golf so much. “The reason I love playing golf so much is that it’s kind of a meditative thing that is also challenging," Wambach said, over Zoom, when we spoke Wednesday afternoon. She added that the game, which she picked up as a regular pastime since retiring from soccer, offers her both the opportunity to stay active and be outdoors.
