From Stanford Champion To Pro Winner. In Conversation with Caroline Sturdza

Send us Fan Mail

We sit down with newly turned professional Caroline Sturdza to trace the real work behind a fast start, from Swiss winters and Stanford championships to a first pro win in Morocco. We talk honestly about injuries, rebuilding a sustainable swing, and how practice becomes sharper when you treat rest, mobility, and performance habits as part of the job. 
• winning early as a new professional and what it confirms 
• growing up in Geneva in a competitive golf family 
• Swiss Golf winter training camps and learning independence 
• junior milestones, national team selection, and early LET experience 
• the Duke commitment that flips to Stanford 
• adjusting to academics, culture, and elite competition at Stanford 
• Augusta National Women’s Amateur perspective and course feel 
• injuries from overtraining and equipment changes, plus rebuilding support 
• shifting to a calmer downswing and more rotation for consistency 
• picking a coach who adapts to the player 
• training with her brother Max and the value of shared experience 
• switching to cross-handed chipping and why it works 
• what’s in the bag and why some clubs stay put 
• daily routine with mobility, wedge distance control, and performance drills 
• season plan on LET Access and a measured path toward LPGA Q-School
