This EDGA Profile is a little different as though it features one of our golfers, Rasmus Lia, we are delighted to talk with his father, Trond Lia, who is a very proud Dad and for a good reason.
It was an exciting trip when Trond travelled with his son Rasmus from their home in Sweden to Dubai, in November 2022. 21-year-old Rasmus had qualified for the season-ending G4D Tour Series Finale @ DP World Tour Championship.
This was a dream for Rasmus very much hard-earned. The young man had recovered from a serious skiing accident as a youngster and put in so many hours of golf practice at their home in Dalarna, often when the snow had been falling outside.
In Dubai, Rasmus – who played in his first EDGA event back in 2017 at the age of 16 – would shoot an excellent 72 on the final day to win the title by four shots. Listen to this remarkable story, all told to us by his super-supportive Dad, Trond Lia.
