About Hannah

Hannah Green was introduced to the likes of golf through her father, she’d tag along with him most Sundays in Hillview where he played social club. Before long she decided to try the sport out for herself. 

Golf became a family event, Green would play against her dad and her mother would caddy and do the tallies for her. She started to get involved with junior clinics and became a member of Hartfield, a private club.

A lover of individual sports, Green grew up doing tennis and swimming, however as a very competitive person the dynamics of Golf outshone these other sports. Golf not only allowed her to compete against others, but by trying to beat her own personal records she could also compete against herself. 

In 2010 Green went on a Graham Marsh Junior Golf Foundation camp, she was later selected for her first state team and played at the Aussie Juniors. These opportunities opened her eyes to the competitive possibilities of the sport, and by 15 Green had decided that she wanted to pursue a professional career in Golf.

In her final years of school Green attended Como Secondary High School which had its own golf academy, she continued to represent in state teams for GolfWA.

Her amateur career was highlighted with her involvement in the Australian National Team. In 2015 she finished 2nd at the New Zealand Open, the same year she also received the Karrie Webb Scholarship.

In 2017 Green recorded 12 top-10 finishes on the Symetra Tour and won the Gaelle Truet Rookie of the Year, she finished second on the money list and earned a LPGA membership for the 2018 season. By the close of the 2017 season she’d pocketed victories at the Sara Bay Classic, Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout and IOA Golf Classic.

For the 2018 season, Green competed in 24 events making 14 cuts, she recorded a top-10 finish on the LPGA and finished fifth in the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year standings.

At the 2019 KPMG Women's PGA Championship, she became a Rolex First Time Winner when she overturned defending champion Sung Hyan Park with a one shot victory. Her triumph at the Cambia Portland Classic, made her the ninth Australian player with multiple wins at the event.

For the 2020 season she made 13 cuts out of 14 events. Most recently in the current 2021 season, she finished 2nd at the HSBC Women's World Championship. The 24-year-old is now set to make her Olympic debut in Tokyo. 

In her Olympic Games debut in Tokyo, Hannah Green recovered impressively from an opening-round 71, carding 65 and 67 in the second and third rounds to place herself well in contention for a podium finish. In the final round she stormed home with an eagle and three birdies in the last six holes, but she would ultimately finish the round two-under 68 and fall three shots short of the medals - placing equal fifth.
