Kiira Riihijärvi – A golfer from Finland. Join Kiira on her journey to the top of the world

Committed. Persistent. Determined to win.

My goal is to be one of the best golfers in the world.

I have gotten this far on my career by hard work and uncompromised focus. Anything is possible.

My first experience with golf was when I was 9 years old and I participated in a beginners course for children at Virpiniemi Golf Club in Oulu. Twelve years later I made Finnish golfing history, when I played in the legendary Augusta National Golf Club as the first Finnish female golfer with the best 72 amateur golfers in the world.

On my journey from Virpiniemi to Augusta, I won multiple Finnish Championships as well as 12 college titles. I was selected as the NCAA D2 Player of the Year in 2020 and was named an All-American in all my 4 years of college.

I turned professional at the 2021 Gant Ladies Open in Turku, Finland - which meant a lot for me. After narrowly missing out on my 2022 LPGA Tour card, I played a full season on the Epson Tour where I got my first professional win along with six top 10 finishes. And now, here I am, an LPGA Tour player...
