Ingrid Lindblad is set to tee it up at the 2025 Chevron Championship this week from Thursday, April 24, to Sunday, April 27, at The Club at Carlton Woods in Texas. All eyes are set on the Swedish golfer as she competes for a slice of the $8 million prize purse.

She recently shot to fame after an incredible show at the 2025 JM Eagle LA Championship. Ingrid Lindblad became a Rolex First-Time Winner after defeating Akie Iwai by one stroke.

Having been on the LPGA Tour for less than a few months, the 25-year-old has shown great promise. Ingrid Lindblad has an incredible record as an amateur golfer. She competed at the prestigious Augusta National Women's Amateurs four times. Having missed the cut in 2023, she recorded top-five finishes in 2021, 2022, and 2024.

Born in Halmstad, Lindblad led Sweden to victories in 2019 and 2020 at the European Ladies' Team Championship. She went on to play for Louisiana State University, where she beat Madelene Sagstrom's record scoring average. The European Junior Ryder Cup star made history as the only golfer to earn SEC Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year honors in the same season.

Lindblad spent an astonishing 53 weeks as the World No. 1 amateur golfer. She now ranks 42nd on the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings. Here's a look at the rising LPGA Tour star's amateur wins (via LPGA Tour):
