'''Annika Charlotta Sörenstam''' ({{IPA|sv|ˈǎnːɪka ˈsœ̂ːrɛnˌstam|pron|sv-Annika Sörenstam.ogg}}; born 9 October 1970) is a Swedish [[professional golfer]] regarded as one of the best female golfers in history.<ref>{{cite web |last=Danger |first=Jon |title=The 11 Best Female Golfers of All Time |url=https://www.vibesgolf.com/post/the-11-best-female-golfers-of-all-time |website=Vibesgolf.com |access-date=14 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230926114244/https://www.vibesgolf.com/post/the-11-best-female-golfers-of-all-time |archive-date=26 Sep 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |last=Tremlett |first=Sam |title=20 Of The Best Female Golfers Of All Time |url=https://www.golfmonthly.com/features/the-game/best-female-golfers-of-all-time-193974 |magazine=Golf Monthly |access-date=14 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230922055109/https://www.golfmonthly.com/features/the-game/best-female-golfers-of-all-time-193974 |archive-date=22 Sep 2023}}</ref> Before stepping away from competitive golf at the end of the 2008 season, she had won 96 international professional tournaments, making her the female golfer with the most wins to her name. She has won 72 official [[LPGA]] tournaments including ten [[women's majors|majors]] and 24 other tournaments internationally.<ref name="LPGA Wins">{{Cite web |title=Official Career Wins |url=http://www.lpga.com/content/OfficialWins.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070125181051/http://www.lpga.com/content/OfficialWins.pdf |archive-date=25 January 2007 |access-date=7 March 2007 |publisher=[[LPGA]] (Ladies Professional Golf Association)}}</ref> 

In 2003, she joined an elite club, completing the career grand slam with victories at each of the four majors so recognized during her prime. Also in 2003, Sörenstam competed in the [[Bank of America Colonial]] tournament to become the first woman to play in a [[PGA Tour]] event since 1945.

Representing Europe in the [[Solheim Cup]] on eight occasions between 1994 and 2007, Sörenstam was the event's [[List of European Solheim Cup golfers#Record European point winners|all-time leading points earner]] until her record was surpassed by England's [[Laura Davies]] during the [[2011 Solheim Cup]]. Sörenstam also was captain of the [[2017 Solheim Cup|2017]] European Solheim Cup team.

Despite retiring from regular tournament golf in 2008, as of the end of 2022, she still topped the LPGA's career money list with earnings of over $22&nbsp;million—over $2&nbsp;million ahead of [[Karrie Webb|her nearest rival]] while playing 187 fewer events.<ref>{{Cite web |title=LPGA Tour Career Money List |url=http://www.lpga.com/statistics/money/career-money?year=2022 |access-date=4 June 2022 |publisher=LPGA Tour}}</ref> After turning 50, she came back from her retirement and added a win in the [[2021 U.S. Senior Women's Open]].

The winner of a record eight [[LPGA Tour#LPGA Tour awards|Player of the Year]] awards, and six [[LPGA Tour#LPGA Tour awards|Vare Trophies]] given to the LPGA player with the lowest seasonal scoring average, she still holds various all-time scoring records including the lowest season scoring average: 68.6969 in 2004. Sörenstam is the only female golfer to shoot a 59 in competition.

On 7 January 2021, she received the [[Presidential Medal of Freedom]] from President [[Donald Trump]].

==Childhood and amateur career==
She was born in [[Bro, Stockholm|Bro]] near [[Stockholm]], [[Sweden]].<ref name="Golf Annika">{{Cite book|last=Sorenstam|first=Annika|title=Golf Annika's way|date=2004|publisher=Gotham Books|isbn=1-59240-076-0|location=New York, N.Y.|oclc=56595141}}</ref> Sörenstam's father Tom was an [[IBM]] executive and her mother Gunilla worked in a bank. Her younger sister [[Charlotta Sörenstam|Charlotta]] also became a professional golfer and LPGA Tour winner, and, after her playing career, coached at her sister's academy.<ref name="LottaLPGA">{{cite web |title=Charlotta Sörenstam Profile |publisher=LPGA |url=http://www.lpga.com/player_results.aspx?id=553 |access-date=7 March 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070311025341/http://www.lpga.com/player_results.aspx?id=553 |archive-date=11 March 2007 |url-status=live}}</ref> Annika and Charlotta Sörenstam became the first two sisters to both win $1&nbsp;million on the LPGA Tour.

As a child, Sörenstam was a talented all-around athlete. She was a nationally ranked junior [[tennis]] player, played [[association football]] (soccer) in her hometown team Bro IK, and was such a good [[Alpine skiing|skier]] that the coach of the Swedish national ski team suggested the family move to northern Sweden to improve her skiing year round.<ref name="Golf Annika" /><ref>{{Cite book|last=Lind|first=Claes|title=Våga bli bäst : Annika Sörenstam|date=2003|publisher=Sportförl|others=Annika Sörenstam, Bulls tr.)|isbn=91-88541-56-8|edition=2. uppl|location=Malmö|oclc=185973077}}</ref><ref name="Red">{{cite web |title=Hall-of-Fame Golfer and Ski Enthusiast Sorenstam's New Mountain Golf Course Gives New Meaning to the Term 'Slope Rating' |url=http://www.lpga.com/content_1.aspx?pid=13517&mid=2 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090212105118/http://www.lpga.com/content_1.aspx?pid=13517&mid=2 |archive-date=12 February 2009 |access-date=31 January 2009 |publisher=LPGA}}</ref>

===Junior golf===
The Sörenstam family began playing golf at Viksjö Golf Club in [[Jakobsberg]], north of Stockholm, and later switched to nearby Bro-Bålsta Golf Club, opened in 1980, initially with a 9-hole course. At the age of 12, Annika shared her first set of golf clubs with her sister. Annika got the odd numbered clubs and Charlotta the even - and earned her first handicap of 54.<ref name="Golf Annika" />

At the [[European Tour]] tournament [[Scandinavian Enterprise Open]] in Stockholm in July 1986, she tried to be a volunteer caddie and was asked to stand in a line with all other candidates. When all male volunteer caddies finally had been chosen by the tournament professionals, three teen-age girls were left without a bag yet. It was Annika, Charlotta and [[Fanny Sunesson]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/after-20-years-it-s-definitely-her-bag-1.1009795 |title=After 20 years, it's definitely her bag |newspaper=Irish Times |location=Dublin, Ireland |date=30 May 2006}}</ref>

She was so shy as a junior, she used to deliberately three-putt at the end of a tournament to avoid giving the victory speech.<ref name="ACAD3">{{cite web |date=17 April 2007 |title=Sörenstam opens new "Annika Academy" |url=http://www.golftoday.co.uk/news/yeartodate/news_07/annika_sorenstam_2.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111107102914/http://www.golftoday.co.uk/news/yeartodate/news_07/annika_sorenstam_2.html |archive-date=7 November 2011 |access-date=9 May 2007 |work=Golf Today}}</ref> The coaches noticed and at the next tournament both the winner and the runner-up had to give a speech. Sörenstam decided that if she were going to have to face the crowd anyway she might as well win and the deliberate misses stopped.<ref name="Golf Annika" />

===Swedish national team===
Her successful amateur career included a win in the [[St Rule Trophy]] played at [[Old Course at St Andrews|St Andrews]] and a runner-up finish in the Swedish national mother/daughter Championship.<ref name="St Rule Trophy">{{cite web |title=St Rule Trophy |publisher=St Andrews Links |date=23 October 2006 |url=http://www.standrews.org.uk/events/annual_tournaments/st_rule_trophy.html |access-date=7 March 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070219005208/http://www.standrews.org.uk/events/annual_tournaments/st_rule_trophy.html |archive-date=19 February 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="Sis">{{cite magazine|title=Finally, sisters in arms- Charlotta Sörenstam and Annika Sörenstam |magazine=Golf Digest |first=Dave |last=Kindred |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0HFI/is_7_51/ai_63015273 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050330075204/http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0HFI/is_7_51/ai_63015273 |url-status=dead |archive-date=30 March 2005 |access-date=6 July 2007 |year=2000 }}</ref> As a member of the Swedish National Team from 1987 to 1992, she played in the [[1990 Espirito Santo Trophy|1990]] and [[1992 Espirito Santo Trophy|1992]] [[Espirito Santo Trophy]], winning the individual competition in 1992.<ref name="IGF">{{cite web |title=World Amateur Team Championship Record Books |url=http://www.internationalgolffederation.org/recordbook/wplayer2.asp?fname=Annika&mname=&lname=Sorenstam&country=Sweden |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071020043742/http://www.internationalgolffederation.org/recordbook/wplayer2.asp?fname=Annika&mname=&lname=Sorenstam&country=Sweden |archive-date=20 October 2007 |access-date=7 March 2007 |publisher=International Golf Federation}}</ref><ref name="IGF2">{{cite web |title=Notable Past Players |publisher=International Golf Federation |url=http://www.internationalgolffederation.org/History/notables.html |access-date=24 March 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070422042205/http://www.internationalgolffederation.org/History/notables.html |archive-date=22 April 2007 |url-status=live}}</ref> While waiting to start college in Sweden, Sörenstam worked as a personal assistant at the Swedish PGA and played on the [[Swedish Golf Tour]], winning three tournaments during 1990/1991.<ref name="PGA">{{cite web |title=Sörenstam needs balance to hold off competition |publisher=CBS Sportsline |url=http://www.sportsline.com/golf/story/10042794/2 |first=Steve |last=Elling |date=6 March 2007 |access-date=7 March 2007 |url-status=dead

At the [[2013 Solheim Cup]] at the [[Colorado Golf Club]] in [[Parker, Colorado]], United States, Sörenstam participated as a non-playing assistant captain, selected by European Team captain Liselotte Neumann. During the match, the Americans accused Sörenstam of telling a European caddie that European player [[Jodi Ewart Shadoff]] should concede a putt for par to [[Paula Creamer]], so it could not show teammate [[Lexi Thompson]] the line for a coming putt. By the rules, only the captain was allowed to give advice to players during the competition. In the end, the 2013 match became an 18–10 triumph for the European team, winning on American soil for the first time and defending the cup for the first time.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/23750732 |title=Europe record historic victory over United States |date=19 August 2013 |work=BBC Sport |access-date=21 February 2024}}</ref>

For the [[2015 Solheim Cup]] at [[Golf Club St. Leon-Rot]], [[Germany]], Sörenstam again was appointed an assistant captain by a Swedish European Team captain, this time [[Carin Koch]]. Two controversies with Sörenstam involved, given a lot of public attention, occurred during the match. The second day afternoon four-ball match between [[Suzann Pettersen]] and [[Charley Hull]] for Europe against [[Alison Lee]] and [[Brittany Lincicome]], United States, was all square, when Lee missed a putt to win the 17th hole. Taking for granted that the next 18-inch putt was conceded, Lee picked up her ball. However, Pettersen pointed out that it was not conceded, and the Europeans won the hole. Koch and Sörenstam tried to convince Pettersen to change her mind and concede the putt, but as it was a fact that Lee had picked up her ball without the putt being given to her, it was not a possibility within the [[rules of golf]], for the players to agree on the outcome of the hole and change the sequence of events afterwards. Pettersen/Hull eventually won the match.<ref name="Coffin">{{cite news |last=Coffin |first=Jay |date=20 September 2015 |title=U.S. rises above controversy to win Solheim Cup |url=http://www.golfchannel.com/news/jay-coffin/us-rises-above-controversy-win-solheim-cup/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160910215856/http://www.golfchannel.com/news/jay-coffin/us-rises-above-controversy-win-solheim-cup/ |archive-date=10 September 2016 |accessdate=27 July 2016 |work=Golf Channel}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Rice |first=Simon |date=21 September 2015 |title=Solheim Cup 2015: Suzann Pettersen says sorry for controversial incident, hopes Alison Lee and US team will forgive her |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/golf/solheim-cup-2015-suzann-pettersen-says-sorry-for-controversial-incident-hopes-alison-lee-and-us-team-10510678.html |url-access=subscription |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220501/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/golf/solheim-cup-2015-suzann-pettersen-says-sorry-for-controversial-incident-hopes-alison-lee-and-us-team-10510678.html |archive-date=1 May 2022 |accessdate=27 July 2016 |newspaper=[[The Independent]]}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
