Lausanne, Switzerland: The International Golf Federation (IGF) has announced that World Golf Hall of Fame Member Annika Sörenstam has been re-elected for her third term as President of the IGF.

“As we build on the momentum from the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, we are grateful for Annika’s leadership and are thrilled to have her continue in her role as president of the IGF,” said IGF Executive Director Antony Scanlon.

“Annika is a key figure in our sport, and with her experience, knowledge and passion, we are committed to the on-going growth and development of golf into the future.”

Sörenstam, whose tenure as IGF President began on January 1, 2021, was re-elected for her third term, which will run from January 1, 2025 through to December 31, 2026.

During her 15-year, Hall of Fame playing career, Sörenstam rewrote the LPGA and Ladies European Tour record books, won countless awards and changed the way women’s golf was played, viewed and covered.
