Anticipating Esther Henseleit contest without monetary prizes, Christin Eisenbeiß remains enthusiastic.
Fresh Take:
Buckle up, golf fans! Christin Eisenbeiß, a budding talent from HGC Falkenstein, is diving headfirst into the high-stakes world of professional golf. This week, she'll be joining Europe's best at the Amundi German Masters in Winsen, competing alongside established pros as an amateur to gain insights and push her game to new heights.
Living with her parents in Geesthacht, Christin hopes to make her home crowd proud as her friends, family, and even grandparents cheer her on in her debut journey at a LET Tour event. With her brother Eric serving as her caddy, she's all set to tackle the challenging North Course of Green Eagle Golf Courses.
While the 300,000 euros prize money is an enticing reward, as an amateur, Christin won't be taking home a chunk of it. But that's just part of her long-term vision — turning pro. She's been working towards this goal for years, and her college career with a golf scholarship at the University of North Florida was a crucial step in her training.
After completing her marketing studies in December, she's been training in Germany and Europe. In September, Christin plans to compete in the qualification tournament for the US LPGA Tour, with another LET Tour qualification lined up in December if she misses the US cut.
Christin's college career in the USA was nothing short of sensational. A German national player raves about her success, with Christin even breaking school records there. Yet, her connection to Hamburg and Germany has remained strong, as she represents Falkensteins team and has won multiple German championships with them.
Christin shares history with Esther Henseleit, Germany's reigning golf queen, who recently finished 12th in a major tournament in Texas. Her Amundi German Masters competitors include defending champion Alexandra Försterling and shooting star Helen Briem, who she's familiar with through Bundesliga and amateur tournaments.
As a wildcard entry, Christin joins fellow national team members Paula Schulz-Hanßen and Charlotte Back at the esteemed Amundi German Masters. The event is a wonderful platform for rising talent and a great way to launch the professional golf tournament season in Germany. The 2025 edition of the LET event will take place near Hamburg, with the best players from across Europe battling it out to capture the title in June.
Christin Eisenbeiß, despite being an amateur, is eager to learn from Europe's best golf professionals at the Amundi German Masters, as she ventures into the world of professional sports. Even though she won't be able to take home a significant portion of the 300,000 euros prize money, her ultimate goal remains turning professional, with golf being more than just a game for her—it's a passion that extends to sports, including golf.
