Welcome to another player exclusive episode I was joined by LET Access Series Order of Merit winner & 2x LETAS title winner Kajsa Arwefjäll who called in after a good practice session in Florida ahead of the Ladies European Tour season opener in Marrakech next week! 

Born in Tranås in the county of Jönköping in Sweden Kajsa would move to Høllviken near the city of Malmö at the age of 9 and plays out of Ljunghusen Golf Club. Kajsa is from a very sporty background with her father being a Former Professional Golfer in his own right and is now currently her golfing coach, her mother is a Former Skier and her brother plays Ice Hockey professionally back in Sweden formerly at Malmö Redhawks! Kajsa believe it or not is a World Champion Rope Skipper!

Kajsa would enrol at San Jose State University where she was have an illustrious amateur career which includes 2x Augusta National Women's Amateur Championship participant, 2022 Palmer Cup participant for Team International, 2023 Women's Amateur Quarter Finalist, 2023 World Amateur Team Championship participant for Sweden as well as being a 4x WGCA All American Scholar, 4x First Team All-Mountain West, 2x Mountain West Player of the Year and winning 2024 Mountain West Individual Championship at SJSU. We talk about the Palmer Cup in Switzerland in 2022 where Kajsa was a part of a super winning International side which featured the likes of Ludvig Åberg, Adrien Dumont De Chassart, Rasmus Neergaard Petersen, Christo Lamprecht, Lexi Försterling,  Chiara Tamburlini, Aline Krauter, Benedetta Moresco & Julia Lopez Ramirez. 

Kajsa has 3 wins on LET Access Series. 1 was at 2021 GolfUppsala Open back in Sweden as an Amateur. Kajsa turned Professional mid last year and won in June at MoreGolf Mastercard Open winning by 3 shots & in August at Destination Gotland Ladies Open by 2 shots. After a consistent year with 2 wins, 2 2nds, 2 T4th's & a T6th that contributed to Arwefjäll winning the LETAS Order of Merit to gain full time Ladies European Tour status for 2025!
