The extent to which it will be a golf-historical moment remains to be seen.
Sörenstam himself says that this is a highly temporary guest appearance, not a test to find out if she at the age of 50 still has what it takes to challenge the world elite.
She lives nearby and thinks she needs to be exposed to and get used to the mental strain it means to compete with the best in the created situation.
For Sörenstam, the coming days on the home track Lake Nona are part of the preparations for the seniors US Open in Fairfield, Connecticut from July 29 to August 1.
- I realized that if I want to compete and do well in the US Open - if my schedule allows it - that I simply need more competitive preparations, she says to the LPGA Tour's website.
But there is a problem to be solved before she knows if she can play the US Open.
As the new president of the International Golf Federation, it is important that she is present during the Olympic golf in Tokyo.
US Open clashes with the men's Olympic competition.
- I am honored to have my role in IGF and take my responsibility seriously.
Obviously, the Olympics are at the top of the list, but Antony Scanlan (IGF's CEO) supports me.
He likes the idea of having an 'active' chairman, so I hope I will be able to do both, says Sörenstam.
Annika Sörenstam's acclaimed return can be seen up close by Madelene Sagström, the reigning champion of the competition, and double major winner Anna Nordqvist.
The trio joins in a pure Swedish ball.
