In 1995, Sörenstam won Sweden's most prestigious award in sports -- the Athlete of the Year. In 1994 Sörenstam was Rolex Rookie of the Year, becoming the second foreign player to win the honor. She is the only player besides Nancy Lopez to have won Rolex Rookie of the Year followed the next year (1995) by Rolex Player of the Year and Vare Trophy.
In 1996 Sörenstam successfully defended her 1995 title at the U.S. Women's Open, where she recorded four rounds of par or better, 70-67-69-66, and surpassed the $1 million mark in career earnings. She also won her second consecutive Vare Trophy for lowest season scoring average with 70.47. She won the 1997 Rolex Player of the Year Award for the second time in three years. For the third consecutive year, she finished the season in the top-three on the season money list.
