Fátima Fernández Cano

Fátima Fernández Cano (born 23 October 1995) is a Spanish professional golfer who plays on the LPGA Tour and the Ladies European Tour.

Early life, amateur and college career Cano was born in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. As a junior player, Cano won the Galicia Championships in 2005. She played college golf at Troy University between 2013 and 2017. While at Troy, she was the Sun Belt Conference individual champion her freshman year. During her junior season in 2016, she finished the season ranked as the #5 player in the NCAA, receiving an at-large bid to the NCAA Regional Qualifier. That same year, she was named Sun Belt Conference Golfer of the Year.

She graduated from Troy with a bachelor's degree in business, as one of the best players in Troy and Sun Belt Conference history. In August 2020, she won her first professional event, the IOA Championship in California. She finished second in the Race for the Card behind Ana Belac to earn LPGA Tour membership for the 2021 season.

In 2021, she was only able to start in one LPGA Tour event, the Volunteers of America Classic where she finished T32, as COVID-19 froze the priority list.

Plagued by pain in her arm, Cano made only a single LPGA Tour cut in 2023 and considered early retirement, before finally getting to the root of the problem and having surgery. In 2024, she joined the Ladies European Tour, having tied for 5th at Q-School. In her rookie season she recorded a T-3 at the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open and a T-4 at the Aramco Team Series - Riyadh. She finished 3rd in the 2024 Epson Tour rankings to regain her full LPGA Tour card for 2025.
