Annika Sorenstam fuming with airline treatment day after meeting President Trump in White House

LPGA legend Annika Sorenstam has taken to social media to blast American Airlines after enduring a nightmare journey to her next destination just hours after meeting US President Donald Trump in the White House. 

Sorenstam, 54, yesterday joined the likes of LIV Golf superstar Bryson DeChambeau and WWE legend TrIple H in the White House for the signing of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition. 

Two-time US Open champion DeChambeau, 31, gave a passionate speech after being elected chairman of the council.

Sorenstam, winner of 72 LPGA titles including 10 majors, then followed with a speech of her own, which you can watch in full below.

"This is truly an honor," said Sorenstam.

"Sport has always been part of my life, and the importance of living a healthy, active lifestyle cannot be any more important than nowadays. I can't wait to get to work."

DeChambeau and Sorenstam are part of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition that also includes a number of other golfing legends such as Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Nelly Korda. 

Ice hockey legend and Dustin Johnson's father-in-law Wayne Gretzky are also members of the council along with a number of NFL superstars such as Saquon Barkley, Tony Romo, Harrison Butker and Lawrence Taylor. 

But back to the top of the story, and Sorenstam was left fuming with American Airlines as she headed to her next destination from Washington. 

Due to the airline's fault, Sorenstam admitted she had to rebook her flight to the next day, and that also included a five-hour layover that saw her kicked out of her class. The airline also refused to cover her hotel or food. 

"I'm extremely disappointed in @AmericanAir in just one trip," tweeted Sorenstam.

"First you rebook me to the next day. Don't cover hotel or food. I now have a 5 hour layover and been bumped out of my class.

"This is not how you treat loyal platinum frequent fliers. #dobetter #angry."

Six hours later, Sorenstam took to X / Twitter to reveal the airline had been in touch to deal with her issues. 

"Appreciate @AmericanAir quick response and handling!" tweeted Sorenstam.
