She won three consecutive LET Access Series tournaments and rose to number 1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking before turning professional in July 2024. She won her first LET title at the 2024 La Sella Open.
Amateur career Briem was born in Nürtingen near Stuttgart and represents Stuttgarter Golf-Club Solitude. She had an exceptional amateur career. In 2021, she became a member of the German National Team and won the European Young Masters in Finland, both individually and with the team. Also in 2021, she won the national stroke-play and match-play titles in Germany, and was selected by captain Annika Sörenstam for the European team at the Junior Solheim Cup.
In 2022, she won the European Nations Cup – Copa Sotogrande and the Italian International Ladies Amateur Championship, and made her Augusta National Women's Amateur debut.
She shared best individual score at the 2022 Women's World Amateur Team Championships for the Espirito Santo Trophy at Le Golf National in France, with Rose Zhang and Meja Örtengren, and collected a bronze medal with the German team.
Briem recorded two runner-up finishes in three starts in professional events on the LET Access Series, at the 2021 Santander Golf Tour Barcelona, one stroke behind Charlotte Liautier, and at the 2022 Lavaux Ladies Open in Switzerland, four strokes behind Sára Kousková. She made three consecutive birdies and an eagle between holes three and six, which resulted in a score of 67 and put her in a share of the lead during the round.
In 2023, she won the Girls Amateur Championship with a record score of 12 & 10. In January 2024 she won the Portuguese International Ladies Amateur Championship, and in late May she birdied the final four holes on her way to a final round 64 to force a playoff at the Dormy Open Helsingborg, a Ladies European Tour event, won by Perrine Delacour on the first extra hole.
In June 2024, Briem, still an amateur, won three professional tournaments in a row, in three consecutive weeks, on the LET Access Series. After she won the 2024 European Ladies' Team Championship with Germany in July, she rose to number one in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.
