Annika Sörenstam is an eight-time Rolex Player of The Year award winner.

Annika was a member of the Swedish team at the 1990 and 1992 World Amateur Golf  Team Championships. Studying in the United States, she played on the University of Arizona women's golf team where she won the 1991 individual NCAA National Championship.

In 1992, she was the runner-up to Vicki Goetze at the United States Women's Amateur Golf Championship. She became a professional golfer in 1993 and is one of the most successful female golfers ever.

Every year from 2000 to 2005, she won at least five tournaments and she tops the LPGA's career money list by several million dollars, with earnings of over 18 million dollars.

She is the holder of various all-time scoring records, including the lowest score in a single round (59 in the second round of the 2001 Standard Register PING tournament) and the lowest scoring average for one season (68.70 in 2002).

SÖrenstam has also won the Vare Trophy, given to the LPGA player with the lowest scoring average for the year, six times.

Amid notable controversy, Sörenstam was invited to play in The Colonial golf tournament in Fort Worth, Texas in May of 2003, making her the first woman to play in a PGA event since Babe Zaharias, who qualified for the 1945 Los Angeles Open.

She qualified for the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2000, but was not eligible for induction until finishing her tenth year on the LPGA tour, which she did in October 2003.

She won the "World Sportswoman of the Year" award at the Laureus World Sports Awards in 2004. She won her last two LPGA events of that season and her first three of 2005 to equal Nancy Lopez's LPGA Tour record of five consecutive victories.

Sörenstam received the 2005 ESPY Award as Best Female Athlete. In 2006 she topped the first list of Women's World Golf Rankings.

She has been a member of seven European Solheim Cup teams: 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2005. In 2006 she won the Women's World Cup of Golf for Sweden in partnership with Liselotte Neumann.
