Breaking Barriers: Linn Grant Makes Debut on American Soil as LPGA Member
In a remarkable journey of triumph and perseverance, Swedish golfer Linn Grant is set to make her long-awaited debut on American soil as a member of the LPGA Tour. After an impressive rookie season in 2022, where she earned her card back for 2023, Grant’s extraordinary achievements have positioned her as a rising star in the world of golf.
What sets Grant’s story apart is that not a single one of her six starts in 2022, nor the three she has made in 2023, took place in the United States. However, thanks to the recent lifting of COVID-19 vaccination requirements for international travelers, Grant’s dreams of competing in the United States will finally come true at the Bank of Hope Match-Play in Las Vegas.
Reflecting on her delayed American debut, Grant expressed gratitude for the path she has taken. She believes her time on the Ladies European Tour (LET) allowed her to gain invaluable experience and confidence, ultimately preparing her for this significant moment in her career. Last year, Grant showcased her talent on the LET, securing four victories and earning the Rookie of the Year and Race to Costa del Sol titles.
