Highlights Include ANNIKA Invitational Series Visiting Four Continents,
SERI PAK & ANNIKA Invitational Asia Returning to Korea for Second Year
(ORLANDO, Fla.) – The ANNIKA Foundation – golf Hall-of-Famer Annika Sorenstam’s charitable organization – has released its 2024 tournament schedule.
Six events for female golfers will once again be held across four different continents: Asia, Europe, North America and South America. The Foundation’s 16th year of hosting tournaments will kick off January 13-16 at Eagle Creek Golf Club in Orlando, Florida for the Hilton Grand Vacations ANNIKA Invitational USA presented by Rolex.
As the first day of summer approaches, the Foundation team will make its traditional trip to Sweden for two events at Isaberg Golf Club, the ANNIKA Invitational Europe and ANNIKA Cup. Then, in the fall, the Foundation will stage three tournaments: the ANNIKA Intercollegiate presented by 3M, the SERI PAK & ANNIKA Invitational Asia, and the Women’s Amateur Latin America Championship presented by The R&A and ANNIKA Foundation. For the first time, the Women’s Amateur Latin America will be hosted in Lima, Peru at Lima Golf Club. For the fifth year, Royal Golf Club in Lake Elmo, Minnesota will host 12 of the country’s best NCAA Division I women’s programs on a golf course Annika co-designed with the late Arnold Palmer.
A very busy year also will include “Share My Passion” clinics around the United States as well as a new initiative that will be announced later this spring.
“I’m so thankful to our team as we enter our 16th year of hosting tournaments for girls and young women,” Annika said. “Their hard work and fierce dedication has been critical to our Foundation impacting the lives of more than 1,000 girls from 60-plus countries every year. And with some exciting announcements on the horizon, 2024 promises to be the best year yet as we continue to spread our ‘More than Golf’ philosophy across the globe.”
Annika is intimately involved with all the championships. Scheduled activities for competitors typically include clinics where she shares her “Winning Approach” philosophy, gala dinners, education sessions, awards presentations and more.
Since the inaugural Foundation tournament – the 2009 ANNIKA Invitational USA – more than 340 ANNIKA event alumnae have earned LPGA Tour cards. Additionally, over 925 past ANNIKA players have played Division I college golf.
In 2024, the Foundation also will host two fundraiser events – one in Orlando in February and one in Philadelphia in August. This also marks the first year of the ANNIKA Women’s All Pro Tour, which is a developmental tour for the Epson Tour and LPGA Tour.
