Welcome to my website!

My name is Sophie Korthuijs and I am 21 years old.

I started playing golf when I was 10, after a lot of training and my first National Championship (where I finished 6th) I was invited to the Dutch National selection.

At the age of 12 I started in the youth selection and at the age of 14 I moved on to the Dutch Juniors.
I was sent to major tournaments: Belgian International Amateur u14, English girls u16, R&A British Ladies Amateur u18, European girls Championship u18.

After all the international and national achievements, there was also a downside:
In 2020 I developed an eating disorder, because I could no longer do much physically and mentally, I had to stop playing golf for 2.5 years.
Together with Leontien van Moorsel, I have reached a healthy weight and started playing competitions again in 2022.
People say that you don't forget how to play golf (just like cycling). That's not true at all.

At the end of 2022, a lot had to change to get my game to a higher level, including switching from Coach.
Together with Floris Vos I started working in the off season to bring my game back to how it was/even better.

In February 2023 I won my first tournament in Portugal, in April I won a tournament in Germany, in May I became national champion with my team (Houtrak) and many top 3's, top 5's followed. (I made all the cuts in the year and missed 1 top 10).
I also passed my HAVO exam in June 2023, I decided to take a gap year to get everything straight for myself.

I decided to go to America in 2024 to study there in combination with playing golf. At the end of the summer, I made my verbal commitment to Ball State University. I spent the rest of my gap year working at various part-time jobs to finance my international competitions.

August 2024.

It's finally here!
It's official, I am now a student at Ball State University (majoring in legal studies) and part of the Ball State women's golf program.
Over the next 4 years I want to develop here to take my game to the highest level.
In 2028 I want to play Q school for the LPGA and I want to earn a living playing golf.
