Callaway Golf Staff Pro Annika Sorenstam
(left) is back to her usual winning ways after recovering
from last season’s neck and back injuries, but the
Swede announced in May that she plans to retire at
the end of the season to focus on her business and
family life. After kicking off her first tournament of the
year with a victory at the SBC Open, Sorenstam won
the Stanford International Pro-Am and then cruised to
a comfortable seven-stroke win at the Michelob ULTRA
Open in May.
Sorenstam says she wants to concentrate on her
ANNIKA Academy in coming years. She plans to marry
next year and has said she would like to have children
and pursue her passion for cooking.

LEFTY RAISES
his game
Phil Mickelson asked technicians to
add an inch-and-a-half to the length
of his Odyssey White Hot Putter
after he discovered he had grown
taller. “In the last three or four years,
through some of the stretching exercises,
I’ve probably grown a half-inch
to an inch,” Mickelson says. “I hadn’t
really made an adjustment to that.”
In mid-April, Mickelson began working
with Dave Pelz to adjust to his
new 35-inch putter and fine-tune his
putterface angle at impact.
