Annika Sorenstam Named Golfing World Ambassador

LPGA legend and 10-time major champion Annika Sorenstam has been named an ambassador for Golfing World.

The multi platform golf media portal, delivered to a global digital audience via www.golfingworld.tv, has teamed up with the most successful female golfer of all time and will cover Annika throughout the year at various events. These include major championships, ANNIKA Foundation junior tournaments, corporate outings and elsewhere.

The one woman golf industry who is the driving force behind the ANNIKA Academy (theannikaacademy.com), the ANNIKA Foundation (annikafoundation.org) and ANNIKA Course Design (annikasorenstam.com/coursedesign) joins a stellar list of Golfing World Ambassadors that includes Colin Montgomerie, Retief Goosen, Natalie Gulbis and Beatriz Recari.

“We’re excited by the possibilities of this new partnership with Golfing World and our long-time associates at IMG,” says Annika, a 2003 World Golf Hall of Fame inductee. “Despite stepping away from competitive golf in 2008, my schedule is even more hectic nowadays. Golfing World’s video platform will give fans a unique glimpse into my travels across the globe as I pursue my new passions like fitness and nutrition, girls’ junior golf and course design. We look forward to sharing the content across our websites as well.”
