Mission Inn Resort is thrilled to announce its sponsorship of Kiira Riihijärvi as the club’s Brand Ambassador and Touring Professional for the next year. Riihijärvi is a rising star in women’s golf who qualified to play pro on the LPGA Tour earlier this year.

As an amateur golfer, Riihijärvi ranked #18 in the world and placed first at the 2019 & 2020 Finnish Amateur Championships. She attained six top 10 finishes on the Epson Tour in 2022 during her second year of professional play, and tied for second place in her first tournament on the LPGA Tour, Florida’s Natural Charity Classic. During her collegiate career at The University of Tampa, Riihijärvi served as the team captain and accomplished 13 individual wins. She was also a five time All-American, two time NCAA D2 Player of the Year, and two time Sunshine State Conference Player of the Year.

Mission Inn Resort is proud to sponsor someone as talented and driven as Kiira Riihijärvi, and we’re excited for what this next year of partnership will bring. Riihijärvi has great ambition for her first year on the LPGA Tour and hopes to win her first professional tournament. She aspires to qualify for all major championships & the CME Group Tour Championship, as well as the European Solheim Cup Team, and we are confident her hard work will pay off.

Please join us in welcoming Kiira Riihijärvi to the Mission Inn Resort golf family.
