After finishing play in the 2008 Women's British Open, the final major championship of her illustrious career, Annika Sorenstam pauses to take a look back at the photographers and others watching her ascend the stairs to the Sunningdale Golf Club's lockerroom.

What will Annika see when she looks back on her career? Among the highlights:

  • 72 LPGA Tour victories (with a few appearances still left in which she can try to add more wins)
  • 10 major championship wins
  • The only round of 59 ever posted on the LPGA Tour
  • 8 LPGA Tour Player of the Year awards

You'll find Sorenstam's name all over the LPGA record book. And for more of her accomplishments, see Annika by the Numbers and also check the LPGA lists (career wins, career majors, etc.) in the Golf Almanac.
