Annika Sörenstam (born 1970) is a Swedish golf player.
Born in Stockholm, Sweden on October 9, 1970, Sörenstam became a professional golfer in 1993 and has become the most successful female golfer ever. She holds a number of records on the LPGA tour, such as most money earned, lowest score and most wins.
Between 1993 and 2002 she has won more than 50 out of approximately 240 entered tournaments. She has finished top ten or better in 116 of the tournaments, in addition to the wins. The total sum of her prize money is more than 10 million dollar.
In 2003 she was invited to play in The Colonial golf tournament, making her the first woman to play in a PGA event since Babe Zaharias, who qualified for the 1945 Los Angeles Open. Less than week before The Colonial, Vijay Singh made disparaging comments to the Associated Press about Sorenstam's invitation. He hoped that she would not make the cut, and he added that if she were paired with him that he would withdraw.
