Hall of Fame golfer Annika Sorenstam will be honorary chair for the 2011 U.S. Women’s Open, to be held at The Broadmoor near Colorado Springs. The Broadmoor was the site of Sorenstam’s first U.S. Women’s Open victory in front of a record-setting crowd in 1995.

Sorenstam earned a record eight Rolex LPGA Player-of-the-Year awards; a record-tying eight money list titles. She was named Golf Writers Association of America Female Player of the Year eight times and became the first player in LPGA history to cross the $22-million mark in earnings. Sorenstam played on eight Solheim Cup teams and was inducted into the LPGA and World Golf Halls of Fame in 2003.
