The Annika, full name is The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican, formerly the Pelican Women's Championship, is a women's professional golf tournament in Florida on the LPGA Tour. A new event in 2020, it was played at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair near Tampa.
The 2022 event was scheduled to be held November 10–13, but the Thursday, November 10 start date was eliminated due to the approach of Hurricane Nicole with rain and strong winds, and the tournament was shortened to 54 holes. The storm hit with a wind, and rain fell on the Tampa Bay area on Thursday. The sandy subsoil allowed for rapid drainage of the rainwater, and the golf course crew worked overnight so that play could begin as proposed at 6:55 a.m. on Friday, by which time the course was in notably good shape.
In 2024, Nelly Korda earned her third title with a 3-shot victory over Charley Hull, Im Jin-hee, and Zhang Weiwei. During the 2024 pro-am, Caitlin Clark, 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year played the front nine alongside Korda and the back nine with Annika Sörenstam.
