Rolex Rookie of the Year in 1994; Her first LPGA Tour victory in 1995 – the U.S. Women’s Open, no less – along with Rolex Player of the Year and the Vare Trophy.

There is an entire generation of fans – including her children – who’ve never seen Annika in an official LPGA Tour event. But that changes at the Gainbridge Championship Feb. 25-28, literally in Sorenstam’s backyard at Lake Nona in Orlando, Fla. Those who love golf get a precious mulligan – the chance to see one of the best compete again.

“I am overwhelmed at the positive response to my deciding to play,” Sorenstam says. “Ava and Will are excited and are a big part of why I will do it.

KOEPKA COMES FROM BEHIND TO WIN SECOND WASTE MANAGEMENT PHOENIX OPEN TITLE

The 2021 Waste Management Phoenix Open has come to a thrilling conclusion with four-time Major winner and 2015 WM Phoenix Open champion rising to the top of a jam-packed leaderboard at the end of Sunday’s final round, finishing at 19-under for the tournament to beat Kyoung-Hoon Lee and Xander Schauffele by one shot . With his win at TPC Scottsdale, Koepka picks up his eighth PGA TOUR victory at the site of his first PGA TOUR win, which came in a similar fashion – a come-from-behind victory by a single stroke.

Koepka started Sunday’s round five strokes behind leaders Jordan Spieth and Schauffele at 13-under par. Koepka played the front nine one-under before turning on the jets on the back-nine with three-straight birdies on 13, 14 and 15, and a chip-in eagle on 17 which would prove to be the difference in the tournament and the defining moment of his first win since July of 2019.

The LPGA is committed long-term to change the face of golf, making the sport we love more diverse, accessible and inclusive. As part of our mission to make the game more welcoming to under-represented girls and women and to become a more racially diverse association, we are unveiling a new initiative to spotlight the stories of the diverse women and girls within the LPGA.

At the LPGA, we refer to the action plan for our diversity efforts as “C-Me.” C stands for Commitment and Me stands for each individual making a personal commitment to listen, learn and be better on this topic. The “C-Me” also has another meaning. It’s about women and girls seeing other individuals who look like them in golf.
