‘Face Your Fear’: While Becoming Inspiration for Millions, ANGC’s LPGA Icon Provides Vital Piece of Advice for Her Fans

If the world of men’s golf has Tiger Woods to boast of as its supreme golfer, then women’s golf has Annika Sorenstam to be proud of. With 97 professional wins to her name, out of which she has won 10 majors, Sorenstam is the GOAT player in women’s golf.

And what’s more appealing about her is that despite her retirement she continues to encourage others. What Annika has managed to achieve over the years is not easy; she has advice for her fans on how they could achieve their dreams with similar hard work and also shares her secret tactic.

How would Annika Sorenstam seek inspiration on the greens?

For a long time, golf has been a man-dominated game but the arrival of some immensely talented and strong players like Babe Zalatoris, Inbee Park, Annika Sorenstam, and others changed the future of women in golf. Sorenstam and the others have been the change makers who opened the door for ladies in golf and fought hard to maintain it.

However, it was no easy job for them. A recent post shared by the Annika Sorenstam Foundation shares how the legendary golfer who herself faced fears and low morale on the course would deal with them. Sorenstam reveals that she would have special messages hidden for herself that would help in motivating her.

She says, “I would write messages under my hat that only I could see and one of them was ‘Face your fear’. I believe a lot of us have different fears in life that make us uncomfortable but it is important to learn how to process and deal with that fear so it doesn’t stop you from reaching your goal.”

Even the people who are a champion of their trade would face fear which is only human. But Annika’s method of dealing with that stress is extraordinary. Recently, she achieved a massive milestone.

It is only a couple of days ago that Sorenstam added another big achievement to her resume. She has been included in the Augusta National Golf Club by the chairman Fred Ridley. About including Annika, Ridley said, “I’ve known Annika for quite some time, and I think she is going to be a great addition to the club. I can tell you, she can still play, and she was just a delight to be with. We have a number of women members and we have for quite a few years. I think it made us a better club, and they are an integral part of our culture.”

Now three events, with an eye to women’s empowerment, will be organized under the supervision of Sorrenstam, Billy Jean King, and Lyn St. James. From November 6th to 12th, 180 female athletes will be participating for a whopping prize money of $13 million.
