Pernilla Lindberg grew up in Bollnäs, in central Sweden, and started playing at four at Bollnäs Golfklubb, the club that later made her an honorary member. It was the start of a journey that would take her from a small Swedish club to the very top of the women’s game.

As an amateur she helped Europe win the 2003 Junior Solheim Cup, and in 2008 she won the Espirito Santo Trophy, the women’s World Amateur Team Championship, with Sweden. She crossed the Atlantic to play college golf at Oklahoma State University, where she was a three-time All-American.

She turned professional in 2009. Her first season on the LPGA Tour followed in 2010, and she has been a member ever since. In 2016 she represented Sweden at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Her defining moment came at the 2018 ANA Inspiration, one of the major championships of women’s golf. Tied after 72 holes, she went into a sudden-death playoff that stretched over two days and eight extra holes before she beat Inbee Park to win her first professional title: a major. On the bag that week was Daniel Taylor, her caddie and today her husband. That year she was named Swedish Golfer of the Year.

The tournament is now known as the Chevron Championship, and Pernilla returns to it as a past champion. She has stepped back from a full schedule, but she remains an LPGA Tour member. From 2019 to 2022 she served as a Player Director on the LPGA Board of Directors, a voice for her fellow players.

Today Pernilla is an expert golf commentator for Viaplay. She plays corporate outings and pro-ams, gives clinics and lessons, makes appearances and speaks at events, and she is proud to partner with PING and Titleist. She lives in Orlando, Florida.
