The Ginn Tribute hosted by Annika was a women's professional golf tournament on the LPGA Tour. Hosted by Hall of Fame golfer Annika Sörenstam, the event was played in 2007 and 2008 at RiverTowne Country Club in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.

With a purse of $2.6 million, it was one of the highest on the LPGA Tour at the time. The tournament was owned and sponsored by Bobby Ginn, President and CEO of The Ginn Company, a developer of golf and resort communities in the United States. Ginn also sponsored the Ginn Open on the LPGA Tour. The tournament was televised by Golf Channel and NBC in 2007 and 2008.

Both years' events featured a tribute to a notable member or members of the women's golf community. The honorees were celebrated in ceremonies during the tournament week.

* both titles won on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff.
