Annika Sorenstam will serve as ambassador in the USGA’s build up to the 75th U.S. Women’s Open, the organization announced Wednesday.
Sorenstam, a three-time winner of the championship, will preside over the event and the initiatives celebrating the milestone.
Originally scheduled to be played this week, the championship was rescheduled to Dec. 10-13, still to be played at Champions Golf Club in Houston, Texas.
“The championship means a lot to me and my career, and I look forward to celebrating and reliving moments that have meant so much not only to me, but the sport of golf as a whole,” Sorenstam said.
