Sophia Marie Schubert (born January 31, 1996) is an American professional golfer.
Education
Schubert majored in Sport management at the University of Texas.
Amateur career
Schubert won the 2017 U.S. Women's Amateur, defeating the number-3 ranked amateur player in the world and former Olympian, Albane Valenzuela, in the final.
Schubert competed for the Texas Longhorns and became the first Longhorn to win the U.S. Women's Amateur since Kelli Kuehne in 1996. Schubert was caddied by her coach at Texas, Ryan Murphy. She previously competed for the Christian Academy of Knoxville and at Auburn during her freshman year in college before transferring to Texas.
Schubert turned professional in 2018 and made her pro debut at the 2018 Indy Women in Tech Championship on the LPGA Tour. She began playing on the Symetra Tour in 2019.
Schubert won her first professional event at the 2021 Carolina Golf Classic on the Symetra Tour.
Personal life
In her early childhood, Schubert began playing golf at the age of four when her mother registered her and her sister for golf lessons. Later in life, she sought a new hobby aside from golf and began taking flying lessons at the McGhee Tyson Airport, which was only 20 minutes away from her home in Oak Ridge. As of November 2022, she had been flying for five months with the goal of obtaining her pilot's license within the next year. After she obtains her pilot's license, she wants to get her own plane. Her ultimate aspiration is to fly herself to tournaments, like Arnold Palmer and Peggy Kirk Bell once did.
