Sorenstam Loses Exempt Status
Posted November 23rd, 2004 by Erik J. Barzeski
Swedish sensation Sorenstam earned only $29,643 in her 7th year on tour, with 0 top-10s in 22 tournaments. What happened? Oh, we were looking at the wrong Sorenstam.
Swedish sensation Sorenstam earned only $29,643 in her 7th year on tour, with 0 top-10s in 22 tournaments. Coach Henri Ries says "I don't know what happened, she's a talented player." She did well at the University of Arizona.
Indeed Charlotta Sorenstam is talented, but apparently not as talented as her older sister. Charlotta finished 139th on the money list and is now non-exempt on the LPGA Tour.
By the by, here's another impressive statistic for the Sorenstam elder: 18 starts, 8 victories, and 16 top-10s. ESPN may be able to compare Annika and Tiger's last five years, but Tiger's 2004 can't hold a candle to Annika's sweltering season.

PGA and LPGA Tour Q-Schools kick off soon. The men will play six rounds, the women five, and everyone's hopes are on the line.
