Watching Hannah Green lift her seventh LPGA title is like she always knew this moment was coming for her. In reality, she didn’t.

The Australian golfer has won the 2026 HSBC Women’s World Championship on March 1, 2026, in Singapore. It was her second win at this tournament and her seventh on the LPGA Tour.

After the round at Sentosa Golf Club, Mrs. Green talked about her younger self more and how she almost didn’t go for a professional golf career at all.

"When I was first playing amateur golf, I wasn't really sure if I wanted to do this for a living," Green told reporters on March 1, 2026. 

"I felt like I was kind of not always winning tournaments as an amateur. I was behind Minjee and a couple of other players."

In her rookie season (2018), Green played 24 events and couldn't even make the cut in 10 of them. With only one top-10 finish that year, the doubt in her mind grew bigger and bigger.

What she said has hit even harder when you see how well she is doing right now. With all the wins she has right now, it will make her one of the most consistent Australian players in LPGA history.

Instead of going straight from Q-School to the LPGA, Green spent a year on the Epson Tour, which is like a training tour for the LPGA. She won three events there and gained a lot of confidence along the way.

From Almost Quitting to Leading a Generation of Australians

Green opened up about herself more. She was asked what advice she would give to young girls starting golf. Her answer came from her own experience of almost quitting the sport.

She said that in Australia, there isnt enough local tournaments for a full professional career. 

Players who want to play at the highest level of professional golf must go overseas because there isnt much of opportunities where they came from. This is a big challenge, especially for teenagers still deciding if the sport is worth the hard work.

She advised young players to take their chances, do their best, and not to measure their potential only by how they compare to other top young players.

Her advice is even more important now. She said that seven or eight Australians played in the 2026 HSBC Women’s World Championship, the most ever from one country at a single event.

"Hopefully, more Aussie flags on the leaderboard," she said 

For the young Australian players watching Green lift the trophy in Singapore, the lesson for them is more than inspiring; It’s real and practical.

She kept going. Seven LPGA titles later, she’s glad she did. Could this be Green's best season yet? Let us know what you think.
