The legacy unfolded slowly but deliberately. 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. But it was 25 years ago, when she won again at the 1996 U.S. Women’s Open, that Annika Sorenstam shouted her arrival. Now, after 13 years away, she returns.

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. The members at Lake Nona have been really nice too, asking me nearly every day the past couple of weeks to play. I’m glad it worked out and I’m thankful there is a category for Hall of Famers, which I didn’t even know about.”
