Ana Belac’s journey to professional golf did not follow the typical course. As a young girl growing up in Slovenia, Ana had an innate love for athletics, and a propensity for golf. As the closest course was over 45 minutes away, with only nine modest holes, Ana found additional ways to be active in her home country. In addition to golf, she discovered her aptitude for competitive alpine skiing, and spent her childhood dreaming of one day becoming a professional athlete.
As the top female junior golfer in Slovenia, Ana left for the United States to pursue collegiate golf at Duke University. During her time there, she led her team to their seventh NCAA Championship in school history, and established herself as one of the top amateur golfers in the world. All the while, her behind-the-scenes dedication to weightlifting has also contributed to the successful multi-sport athlete she is today.
As a rookie on the Epson Tour in 2020, Ana was named Player of the Year after finishing first on the Money List. Her determination and perseverance through obstacles will surely assist her as she seeks to claim her place amongst the world’s best in professional golf.

Amy first made history by becoming the first person with Down syndrome to play in the Arizona High School Girls Golf Division I State Championship. She went on to become the first person with Down syndrome to receive a collegiate athletic scholarship, and, in 2021, she made history yet again by becoming the first person with Down syndrome to compete in a national collegiate championship.
In 2022, Amy earned a silver medal at the Special Olympics USA Games and competed in the Inaugural U.S. Adaptive Open a month later. She will compete in the 2023 Special Olympics World Games and 2023 U.S. Adaptive Open in July as well.
Amy’s natural talent, charisma and determination have torn down barriers and opened incredible doors for her as she advocates for inclusion for people with disabilities. Rhonda Rice of the National Down Syndrome Congress said of Amy, "Here is an example of a young lady with Down syndrome and look at everything she's accomplished. Amy is an example of inclusion. Just give her the chance.”
I Got This Foundation:
As a representative of Special Olympics Arizona, Amy was invited to play the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale with Gary
Woodland during the practice round at the 2019 WM Phoenix Open. After hitting her tee shot into a greenside bunker, she parred the hole in front of a roaring crowd, confidently stating, “I got this!” The video capturing that moment has over 60 million views and is the most watched video in PGA TOUR history. "I’ve been blessed to do a lot of cool things on the golf course but that is, by far, the coolest thing I’ve ever experienced,” said Woodland.
Amy and her family later launched the I Got This Foundation. Their mission is to promote golf instruction and playing opportunities for people with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities. Amy continues to demonstrate to the world what a determined athlete with self-confidence and a positive attitude can achieve.

As residents of Kapolei Golf Club in Hawaii, Allisen Corpuz began golfing at only four years old with her father and brother. At age 10, she became the youngest ever competitor in a USGA Championship at the 2008 Women's Amateur Public Links. After representing Hawaii in the 2014 Asia Pacific Junior Cup and winning the 2016 Hawaii State High School Championship, she began her college career at University of Southern California. There she earned both an undergraduate and master's degree while also establishing herself as one of the most talented amateurs in the country.
Allisen joined the LPGA Tour in 2022 and collected three top-10 finishes in her rookie season including second at the ISPS Handa World Invitational and third at the Pelican Women’s Championship. In 2023, she earned her impressive first win at the U.S. Women’s Open at Pebble Beach, represented Team USA in the Solheim Cup, and finished third on the Official Money List.
Despite her success, Allisen remains one of the most humble and genuine individuals on Tour. Her magnetic smile, love for young fans and calm personality have won over the golf community, yet she remains a fierce competitor who continues to put herself in contention each week against the world’s best.

As a quiet young girl from Houston, Gurleen did not have many examples or peers in golf that shared her Indian heritage. While she was initially drawn to the sport for its individual aspect, she began to develop rich and meaningful relationships through the game as she grew older. Gurleen found commonalities with her teammates and enjoyed success alongside them as she built an impressive amateur resume for herself. During her time at Baylor, Gurleen was a four-time All-American and became the first player in school history to be named to the U.S. Palmer Cup Team.
Gurleen will join the LPGA Tour in 2024 after an impressive T5 finish at the 2023 Q-Series. As she lives out her dream, she hopes to encourage young Indian girls and other minorities across the globe to follow their passions as well, despite where they’ve come from or what obstacles stand in their way. Years from now, as a fixture in women’s golf, this rising star may very well be the role model that she always longed for to the next generation of golfers around the world.

Megan Khang was born for adventure. Growing up in Massachusetts, she quickly fell in love with everything New England had to offer – snowboarding, fishing, hiking, swimming, beach-going, and most importantly, golfing. A fiery personality and an aptitude for the game were the perfect match for her love of the outdoors.
After picking up the game at such a young age, Megan spent many years playing on the U.S. Challenge Cup Tour in New England. During her years an an amateur, she posted an impressive resume, including low-amateur at the 2015 U.S. Open, a Jr. U.S. Solheim Cup Team win, and ultimately a T6 finish at the LPGA Qualifying Tournament in 2015.
When Megan teed off on the LPGA Tour as a professional in 2016, she was the first player of Hmong and Laotian descent to ever compete. She is widely known on Tour for her magnetic personality and ability to make anyone laugh. With an LPGA victory, 38 top-10s and three Solheim Cup appearances under her belt, Megan has claimed her place amongst the world’s best on the LPGA Tour.

Bio:
Brittany’s success as both an amateur and a professional can be attributed to her natural athleticism and unmatched work ethic on and off the course. Coming from the illustrious Duke Golf program where she won six times in only two years, Brittany went on to become the first ever LPGA winner from Duke University. Brittany won the 2012 Manulife LPGA Classic in a four-player playoff where she had to birdie four consecutive holes to win. In 2016, Brittany reached the pinnacle of women’s golf by winning the biggest, most prestigious tournament in women’s golf - the US Women’s Open. 11 years earlier, Brittany competed in the 2005 US Women’s Open and earned an impressive T2 finish as an amateur.
What sets Brittany apart even more is her knack for being the most well-liked person in the room. Week in and week out, the pro-am group paired with her can be seen having a blast, and you would be hard-pressed to find a fellow Tour player that doesn’t love Brittany Lang. You can tell by how many times she has been asked to be in a wedding party. Brittany’s heart is as big as the state she calls home, and her easy-going personality has a way of making everyone feel like an old friend. How many major champions can you say that about?

Yet, she refuses to take her foot off the gas, and continues to work each day to improve her game and contend for championships each and every week.
Her success is undeniable, but that’s not what makes her the best story in golf. It’s what she has had to overcome in order to get there that separates her from everyone else. Stacy Lewis’s story is much more than just a golf story. She’s a medical-miracle story, a stay-in-school story, an overcoming hardship story, a giving back to children story, an athlete’s story, a mother’s story, and an inspirational story. In short, Stacy Lewis is as much a compelling human-interest story as she is a golf story.

Brittany’s humble upbringing has kept her firmly rooted despite her tremendous success. When she’s not winning golf tournaments, she still enjoys hunting, fishing and playing Texas Hold-em with friends. In fact, during the 2013 Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic, Brittany even took time to fish on the ninth fairway of a flooded Ocean Club Golf Course. You won’t find another player on the LPGA Tour with this combination of unreal athleticism and completely genuine personality.
Nicknamed “Bam Bam” at an early age, Brittany has always been known for her incredibly long drives. However, she doesn’t get nearly enough credit for her clutch play when it matters most. Of her eight victories, five have come with a one-shot margin of victory, and two of her last three victories have come in sudden death playoffs at the 2017 Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic and ANA Inspiration. Today, Brittany plays for her two daughters, Emery and Sophia. She serves as an inspiration for women everywhere, that you don’t have to choose between having a career and being a mother.

Ruixin Liu is no stranger to professional golf, having competed in her first event at the Epson Tour’s Volvik Championship at only 14 years of age. She continued competing as an amateur on the professional circuit in one of more events each year until turning professional in 2017.
In 2018, Liu experienced a medical scare on the course where her heart rate spiked to 140 BPM. After extensive testing, doctors were able to determine that she is allergic to 13 different weeds and grasses commonly found on golf courses in the U.S. Despite the setback and the obstacles standing between her and a career in professional golf, Liu earned four top-three finishes that year, including two victories in the final four weeks of the season. She was named the Epson Tour’s 2018 Player of the Year, and secured her LPGA Tour card for the 2019 season.
In her spare time on the road, Liu spends time volunteering at pet shelters with several friends who share a love for animals. During the offseason, she returns to China where she enjoys spending time with family, and riding horses – a hobby she hopes to one day pursue professionally as well.

As an amateur, Jill was one of very few people, male or female, to have won both the U.S. Amateur Championship as well as the U.S. Public Links – the two most prestigious amateur titles in all of golf. With her win at the 2022 U.S. Senior Women’s Open, Jill became just the sixth golfer in history to claim three separate USGA titles, joining Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, JoAnne Carner and Carol Semple Thompson. Although 28 years had elapsed since her last victory, her performance at the USSWO goes to show that she still has the ability to win tournaments and add to her already illustrious golf career.
With her magnetic personality, easy-going disposition and looks and build of a runway model, Jill has always stood out from the crowd of professional female athletes. She currently resides in Dallas, Texas with her husband and two children where she serves as a golf instructor.

It was a ten-foot putt that, if missed, would have closed out the 2015 Solheim Cup for the European team. Instead, Gerina made what one teammate called, “the most clutch putt in the history of golf” and led the U.S. Solheim Cup team to the largest comeback win of all time.
Since arriving on the LPGA Tour in 2010, Gerina has had 40 top-10s, and has represented the United States in the 2016 Rio Olympics and International Crown, as well as three Solheim Cups. While competing full-time, Gerina was consistently one of the longest players on tour and earned her place as one of the top players in the world of women’s golf. Not bad for someone who only took up golf at the age of 15.
As a guest commentator on Golf Channel, she offers a unique perspective as both a mother and an active, established LPGA Tour player. Her combination of power, beauty and character set her apart both on and off the course and have made her a beloved presence on Tour for many years.

Malia Nam’s journey into professional golf is one of drive, determination and perseverance. Malia was raised by a single mother in Hawaii with limited resources or access to golfing opportunities. When Malia was six years old, her mother gifted her a few clubs from storage and enlisted her in the same golf program where Michelle Wie got her start. Malia’s competitive spirit fueled her to succeed and propelled her to a successful junior golf career with three OIA Golf Championships and a spot in the 2014 U.S. Women’s Amateur.
After a breakout freshman season at USC where she was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Year, Malia required a hip surgery to correct an ongoing issue that was inhibiting her on and off the course. She overcame more than eight months of rehabilitation to make a strong return to college golf. In 2023, she entered the LPGA Qualifying Tournament and battled her way through all three stages to secure her LPGA Tour card for 2024. As she begins her professional career, her story serves as an inspiration for young children in Hawaii and around the world to overcome any obstacles in pursuit of their dreams.

“Pancake” is certainly not a common name, unless you are a fan of women’s collegiate golf in the United States. That’s because, “Brooke Pancake” is the name of the best golfer, student and leader that the University of Alabama has ever produced and the person who lead her team to the first national golf championship in Alabama’s storied history.
Behind those soft blue eyes and underneath that long blonde hair, lies the secret to Brooke Pancake’s success – a sharp mind and a heart that is as fiercely competitive as any football player in Tuscaloosa. That combination of mind & heart allowed her to win a national championship while graduating with a perfect 4.0 GPA in her business program. Brooke finished her collegiate playing career as the #5 ranked college golfer in America and winning the prestigious Honda Sports Award as the top female college player in the entire country! Now, as a member on the LPGA Tour, Brooke is striving to make her mark on the professional game.
No, Brooke is not just another LPGA player.She is that rare “complete package” – a combination of skill, mixed with southern charm and uncommon smarts cloaked in humble beauty.
