ARMANA CHRISTIANSON

Professional Golfer

Hey everyone! My name is Armana and I am 28 years old and from Omaha, Nebraska. Growing up I played all kinds of sports before falling into golf just before high school. It took a few years of competition in high school but by my senior year I became the Class A State Champion. I then decided to stay in Nebraska for college and competed for Creighton University and University of Nebraska-Omaha.

In 2016, I decided to turn pro after careful planning and decision making. I really wanted to be sure that this was not only what I wanted but felt attainable. My first year as a pro, I finished 11th on the Cactus Tour money list. Last year in 2018 I added playing in LPGA Monday Qualifiers to my schedule. After playin in three qualifiers, I missed qualifying at each site by two strokes. I returned to LPGA Qualifying School and ended up with partial status on the Symetra Tour, the LPGA's developmental tour. So for the 2019 season, I have a full schedule with events from the Cactus Tour, WAPT, Symetra Tour and LPGA Monday Qualifiers. It should be a busy year!

Besides competing, I like to volunteer with the LPGA Girls Golf program when I'm available. I truly believe that in order to grow the game we not only need to focus on making the game fun for youth but for girls. Through the program, friends and social media I've made some wonderful connections with girls who are learning to love the game like I do. I also like to workout and train. It's not something I used to love but when done the right way and with the right trainer, it has changed my game for the better. I am also the co-owner, with Anna DePalma, of the blog Graceful Golfer. Graceful Golfer is a golf and lifestyle blog aimed at inspiring people to pick up the game and promote golf.

On my team this year, I already have some amazing sponsors that I'm truly happy to be working with. Thank you Nike Golf, Callaway Golf, OnCore Golf Ball and Forelinx. You're support is crucial to me working towards my ultimate goal of competing on the LPGA.

Make sure to follow my journey on social media! Thank you for your support!
