"I've always wanted to be a professional golfer and I'm glad that came true"
About this Quote
The specific intent feels twofold. On the surface, it’s gratitude: a nod to the improbability of turning a dream into a livelihood. Underneath, it’s a subtle claim of authorship. Webb frames her career not as an accident of talent or luck but as a sustained desire made real. “Always wanted” isn’t just sentiment; it’s continuity, the long fuse of ambition. “I’m glad that came true” refuses melodrama and, by doing so, sidesteps the expectation that elite athletes must sound either invincible or broken.
Context matters: women’s professional golf has often had to justify its legitimacy in terms men rarely face - marketability, visibility, even seriousness. Webb’s simplicity pushes back against that noise. She treats “professional golfer” as an ordinary aspiration, the way a kid might want to be a doctor or a pilot. The subtext: this is work, it’s real, and she belongs here.
It’s also the voice of someone who’s won enough to let the results speak. The quote doesn’t chase awe; it assumes it’s already earned.
