Personal life

Began playing golf at four when her mom registered her and her sister for golf lessons. She majored in Sport management at the University of Texas.[2] She searched for a new hobby to take her mind off golf. She found it in learning how to fly a plane, and takes lessons at the McGhee Tyson Airport, 20 minutes from her home in Oak Ridge. As of November 2022, she had been flying for five months and wants to get her pilot's license within the next year, but has not learned how to land. She had to put her lessons on hold for a month due to her playing schedule. She only flies in perfect weather as she is a beginner. After she gets her pilot's license, she then wants to get her own plane with the ultimate goal of flying herself to a tournament, like Arnold Palmer and Peggy Kirk Bell once did.[3][1]

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.[4][5]

Schubert competed for the Texas Longhorns and became the first Longhorn to win the U.S. Women's Amateur since Kelli Kuehne in 1996.[6] Schubert was caddied by her coach at Texas.[7] She previously competed for the Christian Academy of Knoxville and competed at Auburn her freshman year in college before transferring to Texas.[8]

Schubert turned professional in 2018 and made her pro debut at the 2018 Indy Women in Tech Championship on the LPGA Tour.[9] 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.[10]
