Annika Sorenstam (Golf)

This highly disciplined individual is one of the hardest workers in our sport. A native of Stockholm, Sweden, Annika has won 68 times with 9 majors — and counting — through 2005. In 2001, she shot a historic 59 in an LPGA event. The perennial player of the year is a perfectionist whose work ethic is esteemed by her peers. She is the first woman to have an annual scoring average under 70. She has inspired millions of girls to take up the game, and is widely regarded as the finest female player of her time, if not all time.
