Iben Tinning

Denmark's most accomplished female golfer, Tinning has long been considered one of Europe's brightest talents. In 2007, the five-time Ladies European Tour event winner completed her first full season since giving birth to her first child in March 2006, recording five top-10s through the end of October and standing No. 17 on the Order of Merit. She was also named to the European Solheim Cup team for the fourth time. Tinning's career-best season came in 2005, when she collected three titles and secured her first Order of Merit crown. The 33-year-old originally rose to prominence by capturing the 1992 Danish National Championship as an 18-year-old amateur.
