Ten-time majors champ Annika Sorenstam says invitation to join Augusta National ‘one of the most happiest days of my golf life’
Swedish golfing great Annika Sorenstam said on Wednesday she was surprised by the recent invitation for her to join the renowned Augusta National Golf Club and called it one of the happiest days of her life.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and financier Darla Moore became the first women to don Augusta National’s renowned green jackets in 2012 when the club, after years of criticism over it’s male-only status, admitted its first female members. “It was a surprise, I must say that. And I was so excited, you know, one of the most happiest days of my golf life.”
The other two events that will make up Parity Week by Gainbridge are the Billie Jean King Cup Finals and the Women in Motorsports North America summit.
