Daniela Holmqvist (born 3 May 1988) is a Swedish professional golfer.
Holmqvist was born in Switzerland to Yvonne and Hans Holmqvist,[1] a Swedish professional footballer with 27 appearances for the national team, who played for Young Boys in Bern at the time.[2] After finishing high school in Stockholm she moved to the United States and played college golf at Tulane University for a year before transferring to University of California, Berkeley and the California Golden Bears.[3] She got a taste of the LPGA Tour in 2014 when she played in ten events after earning partial status by finishing in a tie for 44th at the 2013 LPGA Qualifying Tournament.[4] She secured her 2016 LPGA Tour membership by finishing fifth on the 2015 Symetra Tour money list.[4]
Holmqvist first received international headlines in 2013 when what tournament officials believe was a redback spider, relative of the famed black widow, nipped her leg during a qualification round for the Women's Australian Open at Royal Canberra Golf Club.[5] Holmqvist swatted the spider away, used a golf tee to pierce her skin and squeeze out the venom, and finished her round.[6]
