Professional career
Hurst left San Jose State University in 1991 and turned professional. She entered LPGA Tour Qualifying School in 1991 and in 1992, missing both times, the second time by one stroke. She spent the next few years working as a teaching pro at the La Quinta Country Club and playing on the Players West Tour, where she won five times. She eventually quit playing golf at one point, taking a job at a Nevada Bob's store in her hometown of San Leandro, California.
In 1994 she entered the LPGA Qualifying Tournament again. This time she tied for 20th to earn exempt status for the 1995 season.
In 1995, Hurst won Rookie of the Year honors in her debut season on the LPGA Tour. She has six career LPGA titles, including one major, the 1998 Nabisco Dinah Shore. Her best money list finish was 6th in 2000. She has represented the United States in the Solheim Cup five times: in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2005, and 2007.
