THE LONG-DRIVE PHENOMENON

Widely regarded as possessing "the best swing in golf," Anne Van Dam has redefined power in the women’s game. With an average driving distance that consistently leads the charts at over 280 yards, the Arnhem native has become a global force on both the LPGA and Ladies European Tour (LET).

Anne’s journey from a nine-year-old Dutch National Team standout to a five-time professional winner is a testament to her pursuit of excellence. Since turning professional in 2015, she has established herself not just as a power hitter, but as a clinical closer with a love for high-stakes victories.

A HISTORIC HOMECOMING (2025–2026)

The 2025 and 2026 seasons marked a transition into a leadership role for Anne. After representing the Netherlands at her second Olympic Games in Paris (2024), she was chosen to lead the next generation. In a historic "full circle" moment, Anne was named the Captain for the 2026 European Junior Solheim Cup Team and a Vice Captain for the 2026 Solheim Cup, both hosted on home soil at Bernardus Golf.

Her influence as a figurehead for Dutch golf has never been higher, balancing her continued competitive success with her role as a mentor to Europe’s rising stars.

Two-Time Olympian: Represented Team Netherlands in Tokyo (2020) and Paris (2024).

Solheim Cup Excellence: 2019 Champion (Team Europe); Named Vice Captain for the 2026 Solheim Cup and Captain for the 2026 Junior Solheim Cup.

THE PURSUIT OF PERFECTION

Anne’s lifestyle is as dynamic as her swing. For a pilot and professional golfer, gear is about much more than aesthetics. It is about aerodynamics, structural integrity, and unrestricted movement. The power within her high velocity swing requires apparel capable of withstanding immense torque without losing its shape, which mirrors the technical philosophy found in aviation. KJUS is a natural fit for this lifestyle because it extends far beyond performance on the fairway. This includes relying on the technical precision of the ski collection for the mountains and the sophisticated casual line for life away from the sport.
