Suzann Pettersen has experienced the absolute pinnacle of professional golf.
As a two-time Major Champion, 15-time LPGA Tour winner, nine-time Solheim Cup competitor, and European team captain , she is now shaking up the sports management world with her player agency, VOXA.
In this episode, Suzann opens up about:
🤫 The cultural pushback she faced in Norway and how it forced her to change how she handled her childhood ambitions.
🏥 The back injury that left her crawling into a doctor's office, and the specific moment of doubt that fueled her comeback.
🧊 The ”calculated selfishness” required to be an elite athlete, and the hidden toll it takes on personal relationships.
🛑 The sudden identity crisis and mental hurdle of being abruptly grounded from her 24/7 tour schedule.
⛳ The fairytale 2019 Solheim Cup, and the exact, unspoken moment on the 18th green when she knew her career was over.
🧠 The moment her ego vanished, and why she admits being a mum is harder than playing professional golf.
Give it a listen, share it with someone who might see themselves in it, and subscribe for more conversations like this.
