When Annika Sorenstam retired from professional golf in 2008, she never envisioned making a comeback. And 10 years later, when the U.S. Golf Association held the inaugural U.S. Senior Women’s Open at Chicago Golf Club and people started to gauge the LPGA legend’s interest in competing, Sorenstam was consistent in her response: I’m too young, I’m too young.
“Well, now I’m not too young,” said Sorenstam, who turned 50 in October.
On the heels of the year’s final major, the U.S. Women’s Open, Sorenstam revealed that she has dusted off her clubs with the intention of returning to competition in 2021.
