Becoming ANNIKA<\/em>, a new documentary profiling the life and career of golf icon Annika Sorenstam, is slated to premiere on GOLF Channel on May 10.<\/p>\n

Produced by NBC Sports together with the United States Golf Association, Becoming ANNIKA\u00a0<\/em>brings viewers on Sorenstam’s journey from her hometown golf course in Sweden to becoming one of the most prolific golfers in history. The film, narrated by Hilary Swank, also touches on Sorenstam’s\u00a0personal life and her foundation work.<\/p>\n

The documentary, which began production at the 2021 U.S. Senior Women’s Open, Sorenstam’s first USGA championship in 13 years, features interviews with members of Sorenstam’s family, as well as influential players, executives and reporters within the game of golf.<\/p>\n

Becoming ANNIKA<\/em> was produced in conjunction with Greenlight Production and GO Agency by an all-female production crew and marks the latest documentary from GOLF Channel’s GOLF Films division. It will be shown on the NBC broadcast network on June 5.<\/p>\n

Sorenstam said: “Watching a movie about yourself, it’s a bit surreal. It’s interesting to hear other people’s perspectives. Of course, I’ve spoken with my caddie many times and with my kids all the time, but for them to speak when I’m not there, the film just captures it all beautifully.”<\/p>\n

Director Adrienne Gallagher said: “When we committed to an all-female production crew, we promised to deliver a film that you couldn’t tell was made by women, but ultimately, I think you can. And that’s a good thing.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
