LPGA golfer Linn Grant overcomes vaccination status setback to shine at KPMG Women's PGA Championship.
Linn Grant, a Swedish golfer, is making her first major start on American soil as a professional at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship after being barred from playing in the United States until last month due to her COVID-19 vaccination status. Grant established herself as one of the game’s best players on the Ladies European Tour, claiming four wins and the circuit's Order of Merit and Rookie of the Year award in 2022. Despite facing criticism for her choice to remain unvaccinated, Grant received a lot of support and has found a silver lining in not being able to play in the U.S. earlier, as it allowed her to gain more confidence and comfort playing as a pro.
