While most dream about making that winning stroke to win a golf championship, few will ever have the opportunity. To put things into perspective only 1 out of 51,436 golfers reach the professional tours. Earlier this month, Jessica Porvasnik secured her playing status for 2025 on the LPGA Tour. Jessica is the granddaughter of Ray and Noreen Wilk.
Jessica has spent many hours playing and practicing at Grandézza while visiting and staying with her grandparents. After she graduated from Ohio State University, she worked for us in the pro shop while she launched her professional career in 2017. At first, she played events on several winter women’s mini tours. She gained valuable knowledge and experience but struggled in her attempts to get her LPGA tour card. However, it did not get her down. She was determined, more focused, and worked even harder.
This led to a couple of victories in the Ohio Women’s Open in 2017 and 2018, the 2018 DCM PGA Women’s Championship of Canada, and the 2019 Florida Women’s Open. As she began to achieve some real progress Covid stalled her headway.
Just like before, Jessica f o c u s e d a n d w o r k e d harder. Covid was good for women’s professional golf. It created a merger of their smaller mini tours into a larger developmental tour, WAPT Tour. The purses and opportunities were expanded for the players and Jessica earned player of the year from that tour in 2021. This got her exempt status on the Epson Tour.
While she did not have the same level of success on the new tour right away, Jessica was able to keep her playing status. She focused again and worked even harder. In 2024 she has played very consistently and was the leading point earner through August. With a couple of events remaining she has earned one of the 15 LPGA Tour Cards for 2025.
Congratulations Jessica! We hope that your hard work and determination continue to bring you success on the big stage.
