Sörenstam was at Colonial on Wednesday to be the keynote speaker at the Executive Women's Day luncheon for 300 women community business leaders and philanthropists. She is both. Sörenstam and her husband started Fizzy Beez craft cocktails during the pandemic. She also has a non-profit called the'We want girls to dream.
