Who are Hannah Leiner’s parents?
Hannah Leiner’s parents are Gloria and Melvin Leiner, as per Hannah’s FIU athletic profile. Unfortunately, besides their names, no professional or personal information is available.
In a 2022 interview with Women Golf Magazine, Leiner revealed that her father introduced her to golf when she was five years old, but she didn't take to it right away. She said:
"At first, I didn’t like it and was under the impression that it was a ‘guy’ sport.”
However, everything changed when she was 12 years old. Her father enrolled her in the country club's golf camp, where she met other girls who played, which piqued her interest.
Hannah believes if she wasn't a golfer, she'd go into fashion. Her mother used to manage her own fashion company in Miami, and that influence runs deep.
