My name is Sofie Andersson and I am a professional golfer from Sweden who currently resides in California. Playing primarily on the Duramed Futures Tour, I am in my third year as a professional golfer. I gained a lot of experience both on and off of the course during my first two seasons and am now looking forward to benefiting and taking advantage of that knowledge.

“...playing on the Duramed Futures Tour...”
 
Since I began playing golf at the age of 10, growing up in Sweden, the game has become a part of my everyday life. I have learned so much from the game of golf and it has dictated many paths I have taken.

 
At 16, I began attending a high school run by the Swedish Golf Federation. After three years of study and competition, I made my way across the Atlantic Ocean to the United States to study and play collegiate golf.
 

 
“...bachelor’s degree in International Political Economy...”
In December 2006, I completed a bachelor’s degree in Political Economy of Industrial Societies at the University of California.
 

 
As a student-athlete at California, I was honored All-America selection three times (2004-06). Additionally, I established a new program scoring average of 74.2 and posted a tournament victory at the 2005 Spartan Invitational.
 

 
“...World Amateur Team Championships gold medal...”
As an amateur, I also played with the Swedish National Team from 1999-06. In 2004, I was part of the three-player team that captured Sweden’s first World Amateur Team Championships gold medal at the competition in Puerto Rico. Two years later at the event in South Africa, we earned the silver medal.
 

 
I enjoy the game of golf for the constant challenges it provides me. I love having the chance to always be able to get better, and the competition it gives me. I appreciate the many opportunities I have been given, the many people I have met, and places I have visited.
