Born in the UK, Ridhima Dilawari began playing at the age of 8 when she moved to India. By the age of 16, she was named the #1 Junior Golfer in India and held the title of #1 Indian Amateur Golfer from 2014 to 2016.

In 2018, she was selected to represent India at the Asian Games in Indonesia, where she tied for 17th place and was the top performer on the squad.
In October 2018, Ridhima turned pro and has since had a successful career, including 11 career wins, 7 top ten finishes, and placed 2nd in 2019 and 3rd in 2022 on the Hero Women's Professional Tour of India Order of Merit. In 2020, she competed in the Ladies European Tour and also qualified for the China LPGA after placing 7th in the Q School.
In 2023, Ridhima has added Sunshine Ladies Tour in South Africa to her list of tours. In an impressive first year, she made the cut in 5 out of the 6 tournaments and her best finish was being placed 7th at the Dimension Data Open.
She also has a growing presence on Instagram, where she has over 5,000 followers.
