Sweden’s Linn Grant is a young newcomer rising rapidly up the Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking. The 24-year-old made headlines in 2022 when she became the DP World Tour’s first female winner.
Her landmark success in the Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed – a groundbreaking new event where men and women compete alongside each other for the same trophy and title, but from different tees – wasn’t just a win; it was an emphatic nine-stroke victory.
“To be honest, the significance of it still hasn’t sunk in,” admits Grant. “Obviously it was a huge personal win, massive, but I don’t think I realised how many eyes were on me that week. I think that as players we all know our best games, how good we could be, and it’s just about being on your best game to win. I felt comfortable with my game all week, in fact all year.”
That much-publicised victory was the culmination of a sensational start toprofessional career. There was absolutely no doubt who would win the 2022 Rookie of the Year award. She also won the LET Order of Merit and the Sunshine Ladies Tour Order of Merit, and was named Swedish Golfer of the Year and LET Player of the Year. A fast start!
