2004 Player Rankings

The 2004 season was memorable for me in that it was Grace Park’s best year. Hopefully she’ll manage to have a better one in the coming years but she will be hard pressed to do that. In ’04 she won twice, including the Kraft Nabisco. She had ten other Top 10 finishes – seven seconds and three thirds! Annika won eight events that year (nobody else had more than three) including the LPGA Championship. The other majors were won by Meg Mallon (US Open) and Karen Stupples (British).

Here are the Top 30 Players of 2004:

1. Annika Sorenstam
