Rosenberg Clinches First Pro Win and Epson Tour Exemption
February 20, 2025 – Miami, FL
In the world of professional golf, where legends are made and careers are forged under the brightest spotlights, Jennifer Rosenberg took a decisive step toward stardom with a commanding victory at the NXXT Epson Tour Qualifier at Southern Hills Plantation.
From the opening round, Rosenberg exuded the poise and precision of a seasoned champion, ultimately carding a three-day total of 12-under-par (69-64-71—204) to edge out fierce challengers Yurika Tanida and Amelia Garvey by a single stroke.
With the win, the New York native not only claimed her first professional title but also secured a coveted Epson Tour exemption—a golden ticket on her road to the LPGA.
A Commanding Victory
Rosenberg’s triumph was built on a foundation of fearless shot-making and unwavering composure. Her 16 birdies, tied for the most in the field, signaled an aggressive approach that paid off in full.
But it was her second-round 64, the lowest score of the tournament, that truly set the stage for her victory. Heading into the final round with a slim lead, she held her nerve down the stretch, closing with a clutch par save on 18 to seal the win—an instant classic moment in the NXXT Tour’s growing history.
“This is what I’ve worked for my entire career,” said Rosenberg, emotions running high after the victory. “To come out on top against such an elite field and take that next step toward my ultimate goal—it’s surreal. The Epson Tour exemption means everything, and I’m ready to keep pushing forward.”
Elite Competition Raises the Stakes
While Rosenberg stood tallest at day’s end, she was pushed to the limit by a field teeming with talent. Tanida (-11) and Garvey (-11) both made aggressive final-round charges, with Garvey’s blistering 65 nearly stealing the show. Orlando’s Mohan Du (-10) delivered a steady performance to claim fourth, while Maisie Filler (-7) and amateur standout Avery McCrery (-7) rounded out the top five.
The leaderboard tells a bigger story—a youth movement is sweeping through the NXXT Tour, as fresh faces continue to make their mark and redefine the competitive landscape of women’s professional golf.
A Defining Moment for the NXXT Tour
With Rosenberg becoming the eighth first-time winner on tour this season, the NXXT Women’s Pro Tour is solidifying itself as the premier proving ground for emerging talent.
The tour’s mission—creating meaningful pathways to the LPGA through elite-level competition—is unfolding in spectacular fashion, with each event delivering high drama and career-altering opportunities.
What’s Next on the NXXT Tour?
The action resumes with the highly anticipated NXXT Battle of the Sexes II at Rio Pinar in Orlando, FL (March 11-12, 2025), an electrifying format that pits top male and female golfers against one another in an ultimate test of skill.
Following that, two crucial Epson Tour Qualifier Championship events are set to take place: LPGA International Hills (March 18-20, 2025) in Daytona Beach, FL, and Club Adena National Championship (March 25-27, 2025) in Ocala, FL. With four more Epson Tour exemptions up for grabs and critical points on the line for Drive to the LPGA Player of the Year, the competition is set to reach new heights.
“This tour is about more than just winning tournaments,” said Stuart McKinnon, CEO of NXXT Golf. “It’s about creating opportunities, shaping careers, and redefining the landscape of women’s professional golf. Jennifer’s win exemplifies everything we stand for, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.”
