Ruffels topped the Epson Tour money list in 2023 to earn her LPGA Tour card and has gone on to enjoy a fine rookie season on the main circuit.
A trio of third-placed finishes – at the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship, Cognizant Founders Cup and Mizuho Americas Open – have been the highlights of the Australian’s campaign, while she has also made the cut at every major championship to date in 2024.
A leading junior tennis player before switching to golf, Ruffels was still an amateur when she recorded top-15 finishes at the ANA Inspiration (now the Chevron Championship) and US Women’s Open in 2020.
