"Britney has proven her ability to connect and build relationships with people, demonstrate a deep knowledge of the game, and foster a culture of accountability and competitive excellence. From our first conversation, I knew Britney would be a great addition to the program, and I look forward to what we'll accomplish together! Roll Wave!"
Yada joins the Wave following a distinguished professional playing career spanning more than a decade. A former LPGA and Epson Tour professional, she captured the 2022 Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout title on the Epson Tour and qualified for the U.S. Women's Open three times (2018, 2021, 2022).
