Yana Wilson- Photo by LPGA Tour
MAINEVILLE, Ohio — Wilson elected to turn pro this week before teeing it up at TPC River’s Bend. The 18-year-old has played in seven LPGA and Epson Tour tournaments since 2022, most recently competing in the FM Championship at TPC Boston, where she missed the cut.
The Nevada native also teed it up in the Florida’s Natural Charity Classic, The Chevron Championship and The Amundi Evian Championship in 2024.
As an amateur, Wilson captured the 2022 U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship title and was a member of the PING Junior U.S. Solheim Cup Team in 2021. She won the AJGA portion of the 2023 Mizuho Americas Open and has also played in three Augusta National Women’s Amateurs.
Sponsor invite Gabrielle Woods, who works at TPC River’s Bend, is also making her professional debut, as is former Furman University Paladin Anna Morgan. Amari Avery and Annabelle Pancake are playing in their first LPGA Tour event as pros at the Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G. Both athletes have previously competed on the Epson Tour.
