Career[edit]

Van Dam turned professional in 2015. She began playing on the Ladies European Tour (LET) and the LET Access Series (LETAS), where she won the HLR Golf Academy Open in Finland.[3]

In 2016, she again played on both tours and won the CitizenGuard LETAS Trophy on home turf, and the Xiamen International Ladies Open in China, her first LET title.[4][5] In 2017, she played mainly on the LET where she finished 3rd at the Hero Women's Indian Open and fourth at the Lacoste Ladies Open de France and Omega Dubai Ladies Masters. She finished fifth on the LET Order of Merit.

In 2018, van Dam divided her time between the LET and the Symetra Tour in the United States, where her best finish was a tie for 8th at the FireKeepers Casino Hotel Championship. She won twice on the LET, at the Estrella Damm Ladies Open and Andalucia Costa Del Sol Open De España Femenino,[6][7] and finished second in the LET Order of Merit behind Georgia Hall.

In 2019, she won twice on the LET, the ActewAGL Canberra Classic and the Andalucia Costa Del Sol Open De España Femenino.[8] She earned a spot on the European Solheim Cup team via her LET Solheim Cup points ranking.[9]

Van Dam earned her LPGA Tour card for 2019 by finishing T-15 in the inaugural LPGA Q-Series. In her rookie season, she made the cut in 13 of 21 starts and recorded a season-best finish of T-6 at the Ladies Scottish Open, to finish 82nd in the rankings. In 2020 she made 11 cuts in 14 starts, and finished 81st. By 2021 she dropped to 120th in the season rankings, and in 2022 to 150th.[1]

Van Dam is known for her driving distance.[10] She led the category on the LET in 2017 and 2018, and held the lead on both the LET and LPGA Tour as of August 2019.[1][2]
