NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. — There have been few professional golfers with a hotter hand as of late than Australian Hannah Green. The 29-year-old kicked off her 2026 season in incredibly impressive fashion, collecting three trophies in just four starts across the LPGA and Ladies European Tours over the course of the last several weeks.

Green eased into the year with a solo seventh showing in her first LPGA Tour start of the season at the Honda LPGA Thailand and then won for a second time at Sentosa Golf Club’s Tanjong Course the following week, beating Epson Tour winner Auston Kim by just a single stroke to capture her seventh career Tour victory at the HSBC Women’s World Championship.

After that triumph in Singapore, Green flew to Australia to tee it up in a pair of tournaments in her home country, ultimately becoming the first Aussie to win the Australian Women’s Open since Karrie Webb captured the title back in 2014. As if that wasn’t enough, Green then added another tally to her worldwide win column seven days later, winning the Australian WPGA Championship by four shots at Sanctuary Cove Golf and Country Club to cap one of the strongest stretches of stellar golf she’s ever had in her entire golf career.

But Green isn’t showing any signs of letting up soon.

The major champion has traveled to Las Vegas this week for the Aramco Championship at Shadow Creek, the first time the property will play host to a stroke-play event on a major women’s professional golf tour.

And when asked in her pre-tournament press conference if she’s been able to revel in her recent success, Green said that she’s just trying to stay focused on what’s in front of her and keep the gas pedal down with the 2026 major championship season looming large, knowing that at the end of the day, she cannot rest on her laurels with several more significant tournaments on deck in the coming months.

“I feel like, obviously, I want to acknowledge what I've done over the last four weeks, but I also don't want to put too much pressure on myself and have my head still in the clouds,” Green said. “I still have a big season left for the year, so I’m just trying to use that inner confidence for when I have those tough moments on the golf course. Hopefully, I can continue this success that I'm having.”

Shadow Creek was home of the LPGA Tour’s T-Mobile Match Play presented by MGM Rewards from 2021 to 2025 and has continually proven to be a beast of a venue for the game’s top talents over the years.

And the Aramco Championship is poised to pose that same type of challenge for the 120 athletes teeing it up this week in North Las Vegas, particularly as it concerns the firm, fast and undulating course conditions that are a common theme at Shadow Creek. But those difficulties are something that Green is fully prepared to battle in order to score at the notoriously tricky track that’s situated nearly 15 miles north of the Las Vegas Strip.

“I've only played here at Shadow (Creek) as match play, so I feel like it's either I make birdies or bogeys,” said Green, whose best finish in the T-Mobile Match Play is a tie for 28th. “It's going to be quite difficult to go from being perhaps aggressive to hitting in the middle of the green and having par as a good score instead of being aggressive. I think also the wind is supposed to be up, but here at Shadow, it's quite gusty, so I think being fully committed to the shot you're going to hit and mentally preparing to hit a good shot and not be rewarded is going to be quite tough.

“Yeah, going to be a mental and physical battle.”

Considering the form she’s been in lately, however, Green has to feel as confident as ever heading into the Aramco Championship. Yes, Shadow Creek is going to be tough, and there are sure to be plenty of bogeys made.

But maybe more than anyone in this week’s field besides Hyo Joo Kim, who has won the last two weeks on the LPGA Tour, Green has to be brimming with self-belief, particularly with her flat stick, something that could once again make the seven-time LPGA Tour winner a deadly threat this week in Sin City.

“I think the putter has been very hot the last three weeks,” Green said. “I also feel like my driving statistics have been better than last year. Having some confidence in that club has been really important to me. I feel like once I can hit the fairway, I can hit the green and give myself an opportunity to make the birdie. I think that's been the real big difference over the three weeks.”
