PALM BEACH, Fla. – Annika Sorenstam and Morgan Pressel will team up to compete against the men for the first time in the ADT Skills Challenge on Nov. 7.

In 2004, Sorenstam became the first woman to compete in the PGA Tour-sanctioned event, finishing sixth. She’ll be part of the event’s first female team with Pressel, ranked 13th on the LPGA money list.
Golfers will compete for $800,000 in such skills categories as long drive, mid-iron, bunker shot, chip shot, trouble shot and short iron.
