ANNIKA AND GOLF DIGEST IRELAND SPONSOR ILGU JUNIOR MEDAL
NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE IRISH LADIES GOLF UNION
Annika Sorenstam, the greatest female golfer of all time, and Golf Digest Ireland, the country's biggest selling golf magazine, have announced a joint sponsorship of the ILGU's Junior Medal.
Annika is one of the most successful professional golfers of all time. Born in Sweden in 1970, she won a total of 89 tournaments worldwide – more than any other player in the sport. On the LPGA, she won 72 times, including an incredible 10 majors.
Annika stepped away from professional golf after the 2008 season to focus on her family and the ANNIKA brand of businesses.
As one of the two vice-Captains to Alison Nicholas for the upcoming Solheim Cup – to be held for the first time in Ireland this September in Killeen Castle, Co Meath – Annika is a committed ambassador for the game around the world and is a dedicated supporter of getting girls into golf at a young age.
“I am happy to be able to share my passion for growing the game of golf globally, specifically for junior girls,” said Annika. “I couldn't have achieved what I did without support from an early age, and I love being able to give back in some way now”.
“I'm excited to be working with the ILGU,” continued Annika. “It's the oldest ladies' golf union in the world and its record for promoting and supporting the game is incredible. Together, I believe we can have a positive effect on girls golf in Ireland and hopefully inspire the juniors to follow their dreams and reach their potential in golf.”
“This is a fantastic opportunity to grow the game among young girls here in Ireland,” said Linton Walsh, Editor of Golf Digest Ireland, “and I'm delighted that we can play some small part in that."
Sinead Herarty, the Chief Executive of the ILGU said, “The development and growth of Girls golf is a key priority for the ILGU. To have a player of the reputation and stature of Annika encouraging more girls to participate in the game is a wonderful opportunity for us in the ILGU and we look forward to the momentum her endorsement will bring to this competition."
