In December, she won the "18 and under" title in the 2019 Orange Bowl.

2020: Turned pro, first ITF Circuit title & major debut

Montgomery reached the quarterfinals of the 2020 Australian Open girls' singles tournament in January, and in March, she won her first ITF tournament, a $25k event in Las Vegas. As of August 2020^[update], she was the No. 5 in the junior world rankings.

Following the break in the season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Montgomery took part in the Western & Southern Open as a wildcard entrant in the qualifying competition, losing in the first round to Sorana Cîrstea. The following week, she received a wildcard into the main draw of the 2020 US Open — her first Grand Slam appearance. She lost in the first round to Yulia Putintseva.

She made her WTA 1000 debut in the main draw of the Miami Open as a wildcard player.

At the US Open, Montgomery defeated Kristina Dmitruk in straight sets in the girls' singles final to win her first Grand Slam singles title. She followed this victory a few hours later with her first major doubles title. She and partner Ashlyn Krueger defeated fellow American duo Reese Brantmeier and Elvina Kalieva in three sets. Montgomery became the first girl to achieve the feat of winning both titles at the US Open since Michaëlla Krajicek in 2004 and was the first American to take the girls' singles title since Amanda Anisimova in 2017.

2023-2024: First WTA 1000 and major wins and WTA 500 quarterfinal
