Dewi Weber (born 12 June 1996) is a Dutch professional golfer playing on the LPGA Tour.[1]

Amateur career

[edit]

Weber was a tennis player in her youth. She played internationally for 2 years, but got injured at 12. That is when she took up golf. By the age of 14, she was selected for the Dutch National Team, and started playing international junior tournaments.[2] In 2012, she represented the Netherlands at the European Young Masters and the European Girls' Team Championship. She played in six European Ladies' Team Championships between 2013 and 2018.[3]

She has also represented the Netherlands in two World Amateur Team Championships, the 2014 Espirito Santo Trophy in Japan and the 2016 Espirito Santo Trophy in Mexico. She played in the 2017 Vagliano Trophy and represented the International team at the 2018 Arnold Palmer Cup.[3]

Weber enrolled at University of Miami in 2015 and played with Miami Hurricanes women's golf. As a freshman, she tied for second behind Virginia Elena Carta at the 2016 NCAA Championship in Eugene, Oregon, finishing with a four-round total of 280 (−8).[4]

In 2016, she lost the final of the British Ladies Amateur to Julia Engström on the 19th hole.[5]

Professional career

[edit]

Weber turned professional and joined the Symetra Tour in 2019. Over three seasons, she recorded 12 top-10 finishes, with her career-best result a solo fourth at the 2020 Mission Inn Resort and Club Championship.[1]

She earned her card for the 2022 LPGA Tour through qualifying school.[6]

In May 2023, she won the 36-hole local qualifying at Novato, California, among 75 competitors, for her first appearance at the U.S. Women's Open, to take place at Pebble Beach Golf Links in July 2023.[7]
