Annika Sorenstam

The ANNIKA Foundation and St. Joe Company (NYSE: JOE) announce international sports icons Annika Sorenstam and Mia Hamm will square-off in a celebrity golf match at Origins Golf Club on Friday, February 19, 2010 at 9:30 a.m. to kick-off the “ANNIKA Experience at WaterSound,” a two-day celebration of active lifestyles and wellness education to benefit the ANNIKA Foundation and local charities.

Annika, a member of both the World Golf and LPGA Halls of Fame and widely regarded as the greatest female golfer of all-time, and Mia, elected to the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 1997 and a three-time Olympic medalist and two-time World Cup champion, will play a 10-hole match on Origins’ par-3 configuration (course description below). They will be joined by a team of 20 local junior golfers – 10 boys and 10 girls – who will each play a hole with the star pairing!

This will surely be an event for the whole family to enjoy. I remember watching Mia Hamm and the U.S. Soccer Team winning the World Cup and thought how amazing that feeling must be. Come out to congratulate your heroes: Golf Phenomenon Annika Sorenstam & Olympic Gold Medalist Mia Hamm! For more information check out:http://www.annikafoundation.org/watersound.html#
