Ree finished 102nd on the money list in her rookie year. She had one strong finish, a tie for 9th at the Cambia Classic, thanks largely to a first round 65. Her next best finish was a 25th. She ended up with a little less than $100K in earnings, and achieved category 15 status for the 2019 season.

Ree decided to focus on the Symetra Tour in 2019. She played only one LPGA event, the ShopRite Classic, and missed the cut. The decision was a good one: she finished 8th on the Symetra Tour money list and earned a full tour card for the LPGA for 2020.

In 2020, the whole world was rocked by the Covid-19 pandemic. The LPGA and KLPGA tours canceled and postponed many tournaments. Robynn played 12 events and missed four cuts. But most of those bad finishes came early, and she played much better as the year went on. Her sole top ten came, once again, at the Cambia; this time she finished tied for 5th. She made about $120,000 in 2020, 78th on the money list.

Robynn played six events early in the 2021 season, missing the cut in all of them, then took a medical leave for unknown reasons the rest of the year. She still had category 9 status for 2022, and she did return for a full season that year. She made just seven cuts, with her best finish a tie for 29th. She earned $61,000 for the year and lost all her playing priviliges. It does not seem like she is playing anymore, but it is not yet certain that she has retired.
