Annika Sorenstam plays her last major
Annika Sorenstam, 37 year old, finished her last major by sinking a 10 foot birdie putt that had no consequence in the tournament. Sorenstam shed a few tears afterwards as the rain continued to pour down.
Sorenstam finishes her career with 10 majors and 72 total victories. For several years, she completely dominated women’s golf. Without a doubt, Annika will go down in history as one of the transformative figures for the LPGA. When the LPGA needed a marquee player to match the star power of Tiger Woods on the PGA tour, Annika filled that role. She even became good friends with Tiger Woods and barely missed the cut at the Colonial on the PGA tour.
Annika Sorenstam will be sorely missed. She was so great for women’s golf and golf in general. We at The Golf Blog are very sad to see her retire, but we wish her the best as she pursues a family and new endeavors.
