Hannah Green has emerged as a leading figure in Australian sports, establishing herself as a prominent golfer on the global stage, yet her name might not be widely recognised. The talented athlete from Western Australia is making notable strides in women’s golf, often overshadowed by her state counterpart, Minjee Lee, who typically garners more media attention.
During their amateur careers, Green frequently ranked behind Lee, but the tides have turned recently. She has reached new heights, clinching her fourth LPGA victory of the 2026 season, which propelled her to fifth place in the world rankings, surpassing Lee, now ranked seventh. Green’s recent form is impressive, especially following her win at the LA Championship, which came after a series of successes, including breaking a 12-year local drought at the women’s Australian Open.
As she prepares for the Chevron Championship—a major tournament starting on April 26—Green is filled with confidence. With a history of good performance at Memorial Park, Texas, she aims to secure a top-10 finish in a major tournament for the first time since 2022. Drawing advice from Min Woo Lee, a fellow Australian golfer, Green is ready to tackle the new venue.
Her husband, Jarryd Felton, has been by her side as her caddie while she navigated the restrictions affecting her regular caddie. This partnership has yielded great results, with a top-10 finish in Thailand followed by victories in Australia and Singapore. “It’s special to share my seventh win with my husband,” Green reflected after her latest title.
With eight LPGA wins, an Olympic appearance, and a historic victory at the 2019 Women’s PGA Championship—where she became just the third Australian woman to win a major—Hannah Green has established herself as a formidable competitor. As she aims for her next big achievement, she stands as Australia’s best hope to replicate Karrie Webb’s 1997 Chevron Championship victory, marking a significant milestone for Australian women’s golf.
