HELSINGOER, Denmark – Annika Sorenstam will play her last tournament in Europe this weekend at the Nykredit Masters.

The second-ranked Swede, who will retire at the end of the season, headlines the Ladies European Tour event at Simon's Golf Club.

“I'm on a kind of goodbye tour and am happy to play in some of the countries that I don't get the chance to visit too often,” Sorenstam said Thursday on the eve of the 54-hole tournament.

A winner of 10 majors and 72 LPGA titles, Sorenstam plans to get married, start a family and focus on Business and golf interests.

The 37-year-old Sorenstam was invited to play in the tournament by Solheim Cup teammate Iben Tinning of Denmark, who is competing on her home course.

“It was Iben who convinced me to play in the Nykredit Masters when we played in Dubai last winter,” said Sorenstam, who played in Denmark as a junior. “Every tournament is a goodbye for me, and now I look forward to soaking up the atmosphere in Denmark.”
