LPGA Bound!
It is a great honor to write that I will be a 2023 LPGA Rookie. It is a dream come true and honestly quite surreal if I can say so myself. The qualifiers for this year is done and so is my season, which means it is time to reflect, rest, and recharge. I will take the Christmas week off from golf before starting the off-and-pre-season work. I have been invited to attend the Swedish Olympic Camp in Scottsdale in January, and will afterwards spend some time in California to prep before my LPGA debut in Phoenix, AZ at the LPGA Drive On Championship March 23-26, 2023.
The road to get to this point has been long, tough, and wonderful. I have made great friends and memories all over the world, and I’m stoked to continue this journey on the LPGA Tour. I would not be here without my team that has believed in me, pushed me, and just been there as friends when I needed them. For that, I am immensely grateful, and hope they feel this success as part of theirs.
Many of you have followed me all year long and checked in with me before and after tournaments. Many of you have kept up with this website and the stories I write about my golf here. Thank you for doing that and wanting to be a part of my journey, it makes it a lot of fun for me. I hope I now get to see many of you around the world when I play LPGA events. I hope I have made a positive impression on you and you can proudly say “I know that girl!” when you see me on TV. I hope that I will embrace this new journey, on the highest level for women’s golf, and enjoy it while also playing great golf.
I have not yet set up new goals for the 2023 season. I am not sure I will share them either, they will probably be so crazy people will laugh if they hear them. That’s always how it’s been. I have always believed I could reach the lofty goals, and oftentimes I have succeeded in fulfilling them, and yet people are always shocked. Maybe a win on the LPGA Tour would be a cool goal? That’s a question for later…
Now it’s time for a week off and some amazing family time in the extremely cold Swedish winter. I hope you enjoy the Christmas celebrations and I will see you again in 2023, on the LPGA Tour!
Big Hugs,
El
