Sorenstam Returns to LPGA Tour
The GOAT returns.
Annika Sorenstam is set to return to the LPGA Tour for its next event, LPGA Gainbridge in Orlando.
“Schedule permitting, a goal for me this year is to compete in the U.S. Senior Women’s Open. And if I’m going to play my best later this summer, I really need to get some competitive reps under my belt,” said Sorenstam.
She added, “With the Gainbridge coming to my home club of Lake Nona, it just makes sense; our home literally looks at the 16th tee and it would be weird watching the girls playing without me being out there, too. I’m grateful there are spots in the field reserved for Hall of Famers and really excited that my kids and our friends at Lake Nona will be able to watch me compete in an LPGA event.”
The event is set to take place from February 25-28.
It will be Sorenstam’s first event in 13 years.
Sorenstam’s Career
In her storied career, Sorenstam won 72 times on the LPGA Tour, including 10 majors.
She is also the only woman to shoot 59 on the Tour and won eight Player of the Year awards.
Her last LPGA Tour win came in 2008.
Sorenstam played in the LPGA’s Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions earlier this year. However, she competed in the celebrity division.
This time, she will be competing in the real thing.
