Annika Sorenstam puts together first bogey-free round in more than a decade at her home course to lead celebrities at LPGA Tournament of Champions

“I’m very happy where I am. But the competitive part doesn’t go away.”

ORLANDO, Florida — Annika Sorenstam put together her first bogey-free round in more than a decade to open the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, where she leads the celebrity division. Caddie Mike McGee was quick to point that out to his wife after her round.

“Obviously I’m very pleased,” said Sorenstam, who amassed 39 points in the Stableford format after shooting 3-under 69 at her home course, Lake Nona Golf and Country Club.

Sorenstam, who lost in a playoff here last year to World Series champion Derek Lowe, leads Mardy Fish by two points. When the 72-time LPGA winner was asked whether she finds herself checking out the LPGA side of the board from time to time, where Brooke Henderson leads after a 5-under 67, Sorenstam replied: “Of course.”

“I’m competitive, but it’s not like I look there and say, I wish I was there,” she said. “I’m very happy where I am.

“But the competitive part doesn’t go away.”

After competing in the PNC Championship with son Will last month, the family jetted off to Tahoe for several weeks of skiing at their second home. The early part of the year has been filled with foundation work, with the Hilton Grand Vacations Annika Invitational wrapping up a few days ago.

Ashleen Kaur made a 40-foot downhill putt for eagle to win by one, and with her victory, received a spot to compete in this week’s field.

“I saw her this morning, and her dad is like joy,” said Sorenstam, beaming herself. “That’s what we want to provide is amazing experiences that they won’t forget. Very happy for her.”

Sorenstam played alongside TOC rookie Gemma Dryburgh on Thursday. The Scot told Sorenstam that she competed in her junior tournament when she was 17 years old.

“So it was pretty crazy looking back now and now playing with her in an event, said Dryburgh. “Very cool. I asked her a few questions. Hopefully I didn’t bombard her too much, but wanted to soak up as much information as I could.”

While Sorenstam didn’t get as much preparation time as she would’ve liked coming into this event, she does have new Callaway clubs in the bag.

After she put a new Paradym driver in the bag and found an extra 8 yards, Sorenstam asked Callaway for more new clubs. A recent tweak to her new Paradym irons, and she’s zipping along.

“I’m searching for things to give me one extra mile an hour of club head speed, one extra yard,” she said, “whatever I can get. And right now they’re doing it for me.”

Sorenstam said she’s starting the tee the ball higher and launch the ball higher with her driver.

“If I can get it up in the air,” she said, “it’s actually staying up there a little longer, and that’s what I need. Then I can feel like it’s almost 10 yards. That’s the goal.”

While she’s feeling good after her opening round at home, Sorenstam isn’t sure what the rest of her competitive schedule will look like this year. She will head to Portugal in two weeks to play in a senior event.

“I know obviously LPGA is not where I belong anymore,” said the 2021 U.S. Senior Women’s Open champion. “So just kind of see how it goes and how I feel.”

Tournament officials bring in 36 lockers for female players at LPGA season-opener, though the locker room remains open to VIPs

A recent storm damaged the permanent lockers that are usually in place in the women’s locker room at Lake Nona.

ORLANDO — Thirty-six temporary lockers arrived at Lake Nona Golf and Country Club on Wednesday afternoon for LPGA players to use at the Hilton Grand Vacation Tournament of Champions. Prior to that, there were no lockers available for female players in the event – both the 29 pros and four celebrities. Male celebrities in the field utilize the men’s locker room.

The new temporary lockers will be located in the club’s women’s locker room, which is located on the first level of the clubhouse along with the men’s locker room. Both areas – which include the only available showers – are also open to tournament hospitality and VIPs.

A recent storm damaged the permanent lockers that are usually in place in the women’s locker room at Lake Nona. The tournament planned to order temporary lockers to place on the second level of the clubhouse next to player dining, though that area did not include bathrooms. LPGA officials canceled the lockers on Jan. 11, citing in a statement that the tournament team opted not to pursue that option due to a prioritization of that space for other player uses.

There was no player-only locker room at last year’s TOC.

Annika Sorenstam has lived at Lake Nona for decades and is once again competing in this week’s event as a celebrity.

“It’s unfortunate that that story is kind of being discussed,” said Sorenstam, when asked about the locker room situation Wednesday morning. “I just want to focus on the game, and hopefully they can sort all the logistics out and we can focus on what’s important.”

Nelly Korda also downplayed the situation.

“Honestly, I’ve played this tournament I think from the start. Not 100 percent sure. We have never had lockers,” said Korda. “To me this event is so unique in the sense where that stuff doesn’t really bother me. You’re out here competing with different celebrities, former athletes, current athletes. … Obviously if it would be at a regular LPGA event it would bother me. At this event I think there are so many different, unique, cool stories that, as I said, it just ­– I didn’t even think twice about it.

As long as I have a gym to warmup in, a range, I’m very happy.”

Matilda Castren, who in 2021 became the first Finnish player to win on the LPGA, called for the tour to have a “certain standard” at each event. Ryann O’Toole put the onus on the LPGA to have a secure, player-only locker room each week.

“I put an emphasis on our tour as taking care of that for us,” said O’Toole. “The pressure should be on the tour and I don’t think anybody else.”

With 2023 upon us, here’s a few interesting golf-related things involving Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus

The number 23 pertains somehow to Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth and Annika Sorenstam.

The golf year of 2022 is soon to be behind us.

And quite a year it was.

Scottie Scheffler went from “the best golfer without a win” to four wins in six starts, including a major

There were some amazing stories on the LPGA, which included a dominant return to form by Lydia Ko.

Stepping back from the on-course play was the shadow cast over the game by LIV Golf and its continued insurgence on the landscape. This battle is just beginning to brew and who knows what the year will bring.

With 2023 now staring us square in the face, there will be some changes to the Rules of Golf to pay attention to. There will also be a good number of things that we’ll look forward to seeing on the PGA Tour as well as the LPGA.

With the number 23 in mind, here’s a look at a few historical marks pertaining to that number as we head into a new year.

Kathy Whitworth, the winningest professional in golf history with 88 titles, dies suddenly at 83

Whitworth won 88 titles on the LPGA, six more than Mickey Wright, Sam Snead and Tiger Woods.

Kathy Whitworth, the winningest player in professional golf history, died suddenly on Christmas Eve with family and friends. She was 83.

“Kathy left this world the way she lived her life, loving, laughing and creating memories,” said Bettye Odle, long-time partner of Whitworth, in an LPGA release.

Rhonda Glenn, author of “The Illustrated History of Women’s Golf,” wrote that Whitworth’s strength was her determination and inability to quit. She wanted to be the greatest player in the world and wasn’t afraid to admit it.

Born in Monahans, Texas, and raised in Jal, New Mexico, near the Texas border, Whitworth’s family owned a hardware store. Her father, Morris, was elected mayor three times. She took up golf at age 15 when the friends with whom she played tennis wanted to give it a try.

“I don’t remember playing tennis again,” Whitworth told Golfweek some years ago. “Once I started playing golf, I kind of put myself on a diet – mother always wanted me on a diet – but I would go out and practice so I wouldn’t be by the refrigerator.”

She quickly developed an appetite for winning, joining the LPGA at age 19.

Whitworth won 88 titles on the LPGA, six more professional titles than Mickey Wright, Sam Snead and Tiger Woods. When Annika Sorenstam announced her retirement in 2008, Whitworth’s phone lit up. Her LPGA record of 88 victories was safe; Annika wasn’t interested in chasing.

Whitworth wasn’t exactly relieved by the news that her record will stand for quite some time. She didn’t aim to set the standard for professional golf, nor did she covet the achievement.

“(While playing) I wasn’t aware there was a record of tournament wins,” Whitworth told Golfweek. “Didn’t know how many tournaments Sam (Snead) had or Mickey (Wright) had. I feel like Mickey would’ve won 100 if she hadn’t quit.”

Whitworth reached her 88th victory in 1985 at the United Virginia Bank Classic but didn’t officially retire until 20 years later.

At a celebration for her 80th birthday, Whitworth noted that records are meant to be broken, and she enjoyed the fact that Woods’ victory at the 2019 Masters reignited the conversation of whether hers will ever be matched.

At 80 years old Whitworth could recall with great detail everything from her first lesson with Harvey Penick (they spent three days on the grip) to the amount of her first check ($33).

Whitworth liked to talk about how she almost quit the game after that first year on tour in 1959. A conversation with her mom and dad at the kitchen table coupled with a quote she read from Betsy Rawls – “I always work harder for an 80 than I do a 70” – turned everything around.

She learned how to grind out the bad rounds and turn them into good. A seven-time Player of the Year and Vare Trophy winner, Whitworth finished second 93 times. Her first LPGA victory came in 1962, and her last in ’85.

She credited her “winning syndrome” to a mindset learned through years of discipline, becoming an expert at focused concentration.

“The bad rounds never became really bad,” said Whitworth, “and the good rounds became better.”

The statuesque and dignified-looking Whitworth never had a hair out of place. The seventh member of the LPGA Hall of Fame was as modest as she was kind.

Whitworth wasn’t an LPGA founder, but she was a pioneer in those early days of the tour, performing whatever task it took to ensure success. Glenn noted that near the end of her LPGA career, Whitworth agreed to serve a fourth term as tour president. One of the issues she faced was that of an all-exempt tour.

“The LPGA doesn’t owe us older players anything,” Whitworth told Glenn. “The LPGA doesn’t owe me anything. All this stuff about what we’ve done for the LPGA, why, I owe the LPGA everything.

“We’ve got to make way for these younger players. People don’t even know who we are, unless we keep our names in front of the public. You watch, when I quit, after a couple of years, people will forget who I ever was.”

That never happened, of course. Whitworth’s record and her generous spirit will never be forgotten.

Of all the Whitworth stories, however, one involving her friend Renee Powell, the second Black to play on the LPGA after Althea Gibson, stands above the rest in revealing her character.

Fifty-plus ago, when players arrived at their hotel for the week, the desk informed Powell that they didn’t have a registration for her. It had been “lost.”

Whitworth walked in and told the hotel employees: “Either she stays, or we all go.”

The golf world will never stop celebrating the humble woman from Jal, New Mexico, who knew what it meant to win at life.

PNC Championship crowd erupts for Annika Sorenstam’s son Will McGee, 11, the youngest player in tournament history

“He’s in heaven. As a parent, that’s all you can ask for,” said Sorenstam.

ORLANDO — Will McGee pumped his fist as his 6-foot birdie putt dropped on the final hole. As the crowd around the 18th erupted, the 11-year-old son of Annika Sorenstam doffed his cap and turned toward the grandstands, beaming with joy.

Fans began to chant “Will! Will! Will!” as he hugged mom, dad and Team Duval. Will then turned toward the crowd one more time and gave a final wave.

He rated his first experience at the PNC Championship a 10 out of 10.

“It was awesome to be inside the ropes with her and to be able to walk down the fairways,” said Will, the youngest player to ever tee it up in this event, which celebrated 25 years this week.

“It was also incredible with the all the people chanting for me. Thanks to PNC for inviting us.”

Will, who dreams of one day playing golf at Stanford like his good buddy Maverick McNealy, mostly competes in local U.S. Kids Golf events and the Space Coast Tour.

Earlier this year, while his mother competed in the U.S. Women’s Open at Pine Needles for the first time in 14 years, Will made headlines when he aced the fifth hole of The Cradle, the par-3 course at Pinehurst. The resort presented Will with a pin flag and an engraved bag tag to commemorate the moment.

As they came up the 18th, mother and son clasped hands and raised them high. Sorenstam, a 10-time major champion, soaked up every second of this opportunity. She got emotional as she talked about what this week has meant to the family.

Husband Mike was on the bag for Will. Sorenstam’s father, Tom, caddied for her, and mom Gunilla rode in the cart. Daughter Ava followed outside the ropes.

“It’s just been a dream come true,” said Sorenstam, “to see him smile in the morning, get out here early, being the first out there putting. He’s in heaven. As a parent, that’s all you can ask for.”

‘Let’s not be too serious’: Annika Sorenstam set to partner with her golf-addicted son Will at the PNC, where the emphasis is on fun

Will wants to play college golf at Stanford, just like his texting buddy Maverick McNealy.

ORLANDO – Christmas came early for Will McGee, who was so stoked to tee it up with his mom in the pro-am of the PNC Championship that he spent the morning running up and down the hallways of the family’s Lake Nona home. Annika Sorenstam has traditionally played the PNC with her father, Tom, but he’s now working as a caddie for the 10-time major winner, enjoying a front-row seat to his grandson having an absolute ball.

When it came time to warm up Friday morning, 11-year-old Will, who is the youngest in the field, put his clubs down on the range next to Tiger Woods. On the first tee, Woods and son Charlie, 13, took photographs with Annika and Will. Tiger and Annika own 25 major championship titles between them.

“I thought I would be really nervous,” said the outgoing Will of his first-tee experience. “But I was more excited than nervous, which I was shocked. That was nice.”

Will has wanted to play with mom in the PNC for some time now, but Sorenstam and her husband, Mike, wanted to make sure he was ready for this type of spotlight. Will met Tiger recently at The Match VII.

“We don’t want to put him on a stage where he’s uncomfortable,” said Sorenstam. “I want him to feel like this is fun to be here.”

Ultimately, they left the decision up to him.

Sorenstam was a multi-sport athlete growing up. She wanted the same for Will, but he’s turned into a golf addict entirely on his own. Will tees it up daily with Ian Poulter’s son Josh and Henrik Stenson’s son Karl. They’re often out with their push carts until dark. If Will doesn’t answer his phone, mom and dad track him by iPhone to cart him back to the house.

“The golf course is their playground,” said Sorenstam. “Sometimes, it’s 36 holes. If it’s a rainstorm, they’re inside having burgers. I can’t ask for any better.”

Will plays in local U.S. Kids Golf and Space Coast Florida events. Right now, he competes around three weekends a month, which Sorenstam said is plenty. She’ll take a look at his swing and offer some mental advice, but mostly she does what her dad did – she gives him space.

Sorenstam loves all the creative ways Will and his friends enjoy the game.

“I want that to flow,” she said.

Will wants to play college golf at Stanford, just like his texting buddy Maverick McNealy. The two families hang out together often in Lake Tahoe.

Sorenstam wants this game to be a passion for life. She worries about burnout, not because Will is being pushed, but because he doesn’t want to do much else.

Will reports that he has worked mostly on his driver and irons coming into this event, knowing that the yardage would be on the longer side. His short game has always been a strength, and he loves to have putting and chipping competitions with mom.

“He’s so competitive,” said Sorenstam, “he wants to beat me in everything we do every time.”

Even as they practiced for a scramble, Will wanted to make sure his shots counted, too. Preferably more of them.

“I’ll get you to the green,” Sorenstam tells him, “you put us in the hole.”

Since Sorenstam has returned to competition, it’s been a family-first mentality. She’s still competitive, of course, but she’s often over by the gallery ropes talking to family and friends mid-round. Making sure Will has a good time will be at the front of her mind all weekend.

Three generations of Sorenstam’s family will be teaming up this week at the PNC, celebrating all the many ways this game can loved ones for decades. Sorenstam wants her son to leave this week loving the game even more.

“He’s 11,” said Sorenstam. “He puts a hoodie on and lays down on a tee box. That’s what it should be.

“You just want them to have a good time and not grow up too quickly and be able to just enjoy it … let’s not be too serious.”

Meet the top 10 single-season money list winners in LPGA history

A record-setting six players crossed the $2 million mark this season on the LPGA and 27 players won seven figures.

Almost any other season, Minjee Lee’s $3,809,960 earnings would’ve topped the LPGA money list. But with the CME Group Tour Championship offering a record-setting $2 million first-place prize, Lydia Ko’s season-ending victory pushed her to the top of the list for 2022 at $4,364,403. Lee finished second.

Ko moved up to fifth on the LPGA career money list with $16,695,357, ahead of Lorena Ochoa. Annika Sorenstam, Karrie Webb, Cristie Kerr and Inbee Park are the four players ahead of Ko.

A record-setting six players crossed the $2 million mark this season on the LPGA and 27 players won seven figures.

Where do Ko’s season earnings rank in history? Read on:

‘Fun to be a part of it’: Why Annika Sorenstam makes a point to attend ANNIKA Intercollegiate in Minnesota

“This is one of our bigger events.”

LAKE ELMO, Minn. – Annika Sorenstam took a back seat to the action happening in front of her.

Sorenstam and her husband, Mike McGee, were perched on a hill looking over the 18th green and down the fairway at Royal Golf Club outside of Minneapolis. Occasionally, spectators would notice Sorenstam was sitting there and ask for a picture or say hello, but when she wasn’t entertaining her fans, she was intently watching the golf in front of her.

Sorenstam was in town for the annual ANNIKA Intercollegiate, a college tournament her foundation started in 2014 that features some of the top women’s college golf teams across the country. Wake Forest captured the team title on a windy Wednesday afternoon while Virginia sophomore Amanda Sambach won the individual crown. Yet for the tournament’s namesake, it’s yet another event where she gives back to the golfing community.

“This tournament has grown very consistently and been really solid every team,” Sorenstam said. “Just look at the teams. the reception is so good. The coaches are so thankful, and I get to know the players more and more every year.

“This is one of our bigger events.”

ANNIKA Intercollegiate: Scores

That’s why it’s important for Sorenstam to come to Minnesota every year in one of the premier women’s golf tournaments on the schedule. It also happens at Royal Golf Club, which is a course she and the late Arnold Palmer co-designed. It’s Palmer’s last design before his death and Sorenstam’s first in the United States.

Players and coaches alike recognize the significance of Sorenstam being present, too.

“Annika is literally the greatest of all time, so it’s really awesome just to be at a site where I know she’ll be,” Sambach said. “She’s such an inspiration.”

Soremstam arrived in Minnesota on Tuesday, and she threw out the first pitch at the Minnesota Twins’ game that night. Then she spent all of the final round Wednesday at Royal Golf Club, interacting with players, coaches and spectators.

The ANNIKA Intercollegiate is just one of the numerous events hosts not only in Minnesota but also across the country. She hosts the ANNIKA Invitational early in the year, which is recognized as one of the top junior events in the country. She’s also active with numerous clinics, including her “Share my Passion” series that she does at stops on the PGA and LPGA tours.

On Tuesday, Sorenstam also announced plans for a future LPGA event in Tampa Bay.

2022 ANNIKA Intercollegiate

She makes an effort to attend most of her events and clinics, and Sorenstam is always making time to interact with the attendees and competitors. Yet the ANNIKA Intercollegiate is really special because of its location and it’s an opportunity to watch players she has seen grow up playing her events.

“We see them make the transition and in every phase of their golf life,” Sorenstam said. “Just to follow women’s golf and you look at them, it’s really cool to be associated. These are role models and ambassadors. They represent the game very well. It’s fun to be a part of it.”
