Annika Sorenstam has been around fellow Swede Linn Grant for almost every stop of her golf development. When Grant was 12 years old, Sorenstam gave her tips at “The Annika Cup” clinic in Sweden. When Grant played in major junior tournaments and in college for Arizona State,

Linn Grant of Sweden had so much control of her game that she played 52 holes consecutive holes without a bogey, a streak that ended on the final hole Sunday when it no longer mattered. She closed with a 5-under 65 for a three shot victory over Jennifer Kupcho in The Annika.

Linn Grant became the first Swedish player to win The Annika driven by Gainbridge at Pelican. It's somewhat fitting given that three years ago, Grant became the first woman to win on the European Tour by winning the Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed, another tournament hosted by Sorenstam.

Caitlin Clark traded the hardwood for the greens this week, returning to Pelican Golf Club to participate in the LPGA’s Annika Pro-Am. The former Iowa star teed off Wednesday morning with partners Dan Towriss and Jordan Jackson, and spent the opening stretch paired with world No. 2 Nelly Korda.

With just 18 holes to play at The ANNIKA, Li is in a three-way tie for fifth at 10-under for the tournament and is currently projected to climb to 60th in the Race to the CME Globe if she maintains or betters her current position, a 54-hole performance that has bolstered her self-belief ahead of one of the most important final rounds of the year.

Linn Grant began the day with a one-stroke lead at The Annika driven by Gainbridge at Pelican and made it look effortless on Sunday. The woman who made history when she beat the men by nine strokes at another event hosted by Sorenstam, won her second LPGA title by three on a sun-splashed day in Belleair, Florida.

Trying to play her way into the LPGA’s lucrative season finale, Brooke Matthews earned a two-year lease on a Lamborghini Huracán. That was the prize on offer on the par-3 12th at Pelican Golf Club. Matthews, from 142 yards, hit her tee shot near the middle of the green and watched it roll directly into the cup.

Like Yamashita, Hannah Green has enjoyed a strong close to 2025 and will be a player to watch this week in Florida. Green has finished in the top five in her last two starts and returns to Pelican Golf Club, where she earned a career-best T4 finish in 2022.

The two friends, who were grouped together in the first two rounds, are the latest thirtysomethings to move on from the LPGA.
