Shyla Brown, a 15-year-old Black teen from McKinney, Texas, is making history as the youngest African-American Junior Golf Champion. At the age of 8, she discovered her love for golf and followed in the footsteps of her parents who were avid players.
Recently, Shyla participated in the prestigious Southwest Airlines Showcase at Cedar Crest, joining the ranks of the nation’s top amateur golfers. Not only is she the top-ranked African American Junior Golfer, but she is also only the second African American to be selected for the 2023 American Junior Golf All-Star Team.
Shyla draws inspiration from her family, coaches, and fellow golfers, and sees their success as a driving force for her own improvement. “That really brings out the best of me when I see them succeeding. It makes me want to reach there,” she said.
In addition to golf tournaments and training, Shyla also balances her education and is a marching band member. But her ultimate goal remains to become a professional golfer. “I want to get through college. Go professional and not even just get on the tour. Be one of the greatest,” she said.
Shyla Brown is an inspiring role model for young golfers everywhere. She embodies the importance of staying disciplined and consistent, as well as the power of inspiration. We look forward to hearing more about her incredible journey.
