The 2003 LPGA Championship was the 49th LPGA Championship, played June 5–8 at DuPont Country Club in Wilmington, Delaware.
Annika Sörenstam won in a playoff over Grace Park with a par on the first sudden death hole.[1][2] It was the first of three consecutive LPGA Championships for Sorenstam and the fifth of her ten major titles.
