Maja Stark may just be the next face of Scandinavian golf.
The Swedish star made her professional debut in August of 2021, establishing herself on the Ladies European Tour. After a highly successful amateur career that included three wins at Oklahoma State, All-American honors, Big 12 Player of the Year (2021), a Junior Solheim Cup, Arnold Palmer Cup and multiple Augusta National Women’s Amateur appearances, Stark used her experience to quickly adapt to the pro game.
From September of 2021 to August of 2022, Stark racked up five wins on the LET, the final win doubling as her first LPGA Tour win – the ISPS Handa World Invitational.
In her first full season on the LPGA Tour, Stark is closing in on a top-30 world ranking and is comfortably inside the top 25 in the Race to CME Globe.
With strong showings over the past couple of seasons, look for Stark to carry the strong Swedish influence on the LPGA for time to come.
