Bring Tour-Level Play Home: Annika Sörenstams Artificial Greens

“A lot of people know that I am passionate about my family and golf, but I am also passionate about Southwest Greens.” - Annika Sörenstam

She is a 10‑time major winner and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2003, earning her place among the true greats of the game. She’s also the only woman to shoot a competitive 59, proof that accuracy counts — both on the course and in the backyard. In early 2021, she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, marking her legacy both on golf course and beyond.

INSTALLING TOUR-LEVEL GREENS IN ANNIKA’S YARD

Annika’s backyard setup features an estimated 800 square feet of GB177 Golden Bear Putt in turf color 301 — a surface trusted for its true roll and consistency. The entire backyard putting green spans about 1,200 sq. ft., complete with a bespoke sand bunker and GB134 synthetic fringe for a finishing touch of authenticity. One of the most impressive parts? A tee box offering plays up to 80 yards, giving Annika the range and difficulty she enjoys, all steps from her back door.

And here’s the real kicker — it’s 12 years old and still plays beautifully!

TENNIS ANYONE?

We didn’t limit the setup to golf greens either. Annika’s property also includes a 7,200 sq. ft. Pro Court tennis surface, built for long-lasting use in any season. Whether it’s putting or playing, her backyard is set up for all kinds of family activities and use throughout the year.

ELEVATE YOUR BACKYARD TO PRO STATUS

Annika’s choice makes the point clear—if you care about precision, durability, and backyard joy, Southwest Greens is the answer. Whether you’re sharpening your putting or playing a quick set, it’s a surface that meets your passion and pace.
