Hannah Green (born 20 December 1996) is an Australian professional golfer and winner of the 2019 Women's PGA Championship.

Life and career

Hannah Green was born on 20 December 1996 in Perth, Western Australia.[1] She attended Como Secondary College and was in the golf academy at the school.[2] In 2015, she won the Karrie Webb scholarship, which gave her financial support for travel expenses as well as coaching from Karrie Webb.[1] That year, she won the Victorian Women's Amateur Championship.[3]

Green turned professional in 2016[1] and recorded two pro-am wins on the ALPG Tour that year: Pennant Hills Pro Am and the Hope Island Pro Am.[4] The following year, she played on the Symetra Tour, winning three times, at the Sara Bay Classic,[5] the Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout,[6] and the IOA Golf Classic.[7] After twelve top-10 finishes, she finished second on the money list and won the Rookie of the Year award. She earned her 2018 LPGA Tour card as a result.[6][8]

In June 2019, Green won her first major (and first LPGA Tour event), the Women's PGA Championship, by one stroke over defending champion Park Sung-hyun. It was the first wire-to-wire win at the Women's PGA Championship since Yani Tseng in 2011 and the first major win by an Australian since Karrie Webb at the 2006 Kraft Nabisco Championship.[9] At the start of the tournament held at Hazeltine National Golf Club, Green was ranked 114th in the world.[10] Her victory made her the third Australian woman to win a major, after Webb and Jan Stephenson.[11] Prior to her maiden victory on the LPGA Tour, Green's best finish was third place at the 2018 ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open.[12][13] and her best major finish was a tied for 16th at the 2018 ANA Inspiration.[14]

On 1 September 2019, Green won her second LPGA Tour event at the Cambia Portland Classic,[15] and was awarded the Greg Norman Medal in December.[16] In February 2020, she was jointly awarded the 2019 Western Australian Sports Star of the Year with Australian rules football star, Nat Fyfe.[17]

On 4–7 August 2021, Green represented Australia in the women's individual event at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. She scored 13-under-par across the four rounds and finished fifth overall.[18]

In 2022, Green claimed victory at the Vic Open,[19] before winning the TPS Murray River tournament. Her triumph in the latter made her the first woman to win a 72-hole mixed gender event on a leading tour.[20] She also finished in a tie for eighth at the Chevron Championship[21] and tied-5th at the Women's PGA Championship.[22]

In 2023, Green was victorious at the JM Eagle LA Championship after defeating Aditi Ashok and Lin Xiyu in a playoff.[23] She represented Australia at the International Crown and helped the team overcome Sweden 3–0 in the semi-finals[24] before losing losing to Thailand by the same scoreline in the final.[25]

In March 2024, Green triumphed at the HSBC Women's World Championship. She made a birdie on the final hole to clinch a one-stroke victory from Céline Boutier.[26] The following month, she claimed another LPGA title, after clinching a three-shot victory at the JM Eagle LA Championship.[27] The victory helped her rise ten places in the world rankings to a a career-high ranking of eight.[28] Later in the month, after finishing runner-up to Nelly Korda at the Mizuho Americas Open,[29] she reached number five in the rankings.[30] At the 2024 Summer Olympics, Green finished in a tie for fourth, one shot away from the bronze-medal position. It was the best ever finish by an Australian in an Olympic golf event.[31] In October, she secured her third LPGA title of the year, with a one-stroke triumph over Boutier at the BMW Ladies Championship.[32] At the end of the year, she was awarded the Greg Norman Medal for a second time.[33]

In October 2025, Green helped Australia win the International Crown for the first time.[34] The following month, at the Maybank Championship, Green reached a three-way playoff, but was ultimately defeated by Miyū Yamashita who won the title.[35]

In 2026, Green won the HSBC Women's World Championship for a second time after securing a one-stroke victory in Singapore.[36] Her husband acted as her caddie after her regular caddie was unavailable.[37] Two weeks later, Green was victorious at the Women's Australian Open. She secured a one-stroke victory to earn her first Ladies European Tour title and become the first Australian to win the title since 2014.[38]
