Former Texas Tech women’s golfer Gabby Barker makes her professional debut Thursday at the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic in Oneida, Wisconsin.
Barker earned a sponsor’s exemption into the event. She recently signed an agreement with Nike N7, which is a program that provides access to Nike products directly to Native American tribes to support health promotion and disease prevention programs.
Barker tees off at 8:58 a.m. Thursday alongside Brittany Marchand and Emily Pedersen.
