Here are some career figures for Annika Sorenstam, who on Tuesday announced she would retire from competitive golf at the end of the year:
22 million dollars in career earnings.
72 career tournament victories, third most in LPGA history behind Kathy Whitworth (88) and Mickey Wright (82).
10 majors victories, tied for fourth all time and five behind record-setter Patty Berg.
59 strokes in a single round, the lowest in LPGA history.
6 women, including Sorenstam, to complete the career Grand Slam.
8 LPGA Tour player of the year awards -- a record -- including five consecutive seasons until Lorena Ochoa ended the streak in 2006.
58 years since a women had competed on the PGA Tour, before she did so at the Colonial in 2003. She missed the cut, but earned respect for the way she comported herself amid massive scrutiny.
