Julieta Granada’s message

Being a part of the golf scene for 16 years and reaching the top is amazing.

Reflecting on numerous career moments and achievements, Julieta acknowledged the imperfections and doubts that arose. Despite these challenges, she persevered, believed in herself, and built an impressive career.

Granada expressed her current priority: to be the best mother she can be.

“Playing on the @lpga_tour for 16 years has been great! So I want to thank everyone involved with the tour, the tournaments, sponsors, volunteers, fans and of course the players.
I take the next step in my career proud of my achievements and satisfied because I left it all on the golf course, and during training.

I recognized I’m not the best athlete but my hard work, determination, discipline, hunger to get better got me to accomplishing things I never dreamt on. Number one junior, amateur and winning an LPGA event, flag beaver for my country at the Rio Olympics, and representing Paraguay everywhere I went are the highlights, don’t be fooled every accomplishment was with a lot of sacrifices and with a lot of hard work and they are a lot of bad days were I had doubt.

And of course I want to thank my mom who pushed me to get better everyday!
What’s next? Well being the best mom.”
