Hannah Green

Our guest on Tee for Two today is Hannah Green. Hannah recently made golf history by not only taking out two gender-neutral tournaments in succession in Victoria, Australia - the 2022 Vic Open and the Webex Players Series Murray River – but, in winning the second she became not only the first female to win one of The Players Series events in Australia but the first woman to win a four-round mixed gender tournament on any major tour in the world. In doing so, she has succeeded in making a strong statement about women professional golfers as well as placing Australia in the spotlight. To say her achievement has created news is an understatement, with it receiving attention on major news outlets around the world as well as global golf forums. Hannah is no stranger to big achievement. In 2019 she became a Rolex First-Time Winner on the LPGA Tour in no less than one of the game’s majors, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. This was the first wire-to-wire victory at a major since 2011 and the first major win by an Australian since her mentor and good friend Karrie Webb in 2006. Hannah also represented Australia in the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo and later in the year won the $1million AON Risk Reward Challenge. Through it all, she has remained someone with a down to earth attitude, a sense of fun, a commitment to giving back and a tremendous ambassador for the game and for women’s golf. We are very fortunate that she has been able to spend some time to talk with us today. Tee for Two is hosted by Karen Harding. It is produced on the traditional country of the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation in Victoria, Australia, and offers respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
