EncyclopediaSorenstam, AnnikaSorenstam, Annika, 1970–, Swedish golfer. Acclaimed by many as golf's greatest female player, she dominated the game in the late 1990s and early 2000s. She played for the Swedish national team (1987–92) and the Univ. of Arizona (1990–92), becoming world amateur champion in 1992. Turning professional in 1993 in Europe, she became a full-time LPGA player in 1994; she was named rookie of the year both seasons. In a meteoric rise, she became golf's number one female player in 1995 and has since captured that crown seven more times. She is also golf's highest-earning woman and has won ten major titles.
