Mika Miyazato was born on October 10, 1989, in Okinawa, Japan. She began playing golf at the age of seven, influenced by her golf-enthusiast father. Demonstrating talent from an early age, she made headlines in 2004 by becoming the youngest winner of the Japan Amateur Championship at just 14 years old.
In 2008, at the age of 18, Miyazato turned professional and moved to the United States to train at IMG Academy. That same year, she secured 12th place in the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament, earning her LPGA Tour card for the 2009 season.
Miyazato quickly cemented her position on the LPGA Tour with steady performances. By 2010, she had recorded five Top-10 finishes and took home the title at the Japan Women's Golf Championship. In 2011, she tied for fifth at the U.S. Women's Open and added three Top-10 finishes, earning approximately $600,000 for the season.
Her most successful year came in 2012, when she claimed her first LPGA Tour victory at the Safeway Classic and was runner-up at both the LPGA Championship and the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. She achieved a total of nine Top-10 finishes that year, amassing over $1 million in earnings. In 2013, she won the Japan Women's Open, further solidifying her impact in both domestic and international tournaments.
Mika Miyazato’s career earnings on the LPGA Tour total approximately $3,556,153. Her net worth is estimated to be between $3.56 million and $4 million.
