There were many trips to the training room and sleepless, uncomfortable nights, but I came out of the surgery a different person. I was so appreciative for the opportunity just to swing a club, everything since has been a bonus!

Never in a million years, would I have thought this journey playing golf would still be going in 2025, but the time has come to put the clubs away. I will finish out the 2025 season, but this will be my last on the LPGA.  I’m not exactly sure what is next but I’m so grateful for all the Arkansas fans and people that have supported me along way!

Success takes a lot of patience and a great support system around you.

I was so fortunate to have 2 great coaches at Arkansas, Kelley and Shauna, that pushed me and showed me what was possible. Then as I turned professional, Joe, David, and Jeff became huge additions to my team, always helping to find ways to make me better on and off the course. Finally, my only caddie of 17 years, Travis, the most consistent, reliable person I could ever ask for, he was always the same person whether we won or lost, and the big brother I never had!

I’m going to miss the LPGA Tour family and this part of my life, but my body has told me it’s time. My husband became a part of the team too fitting in seamlessly providing great balance and stability to my life. I’m looking forward to our calendars being more in sync and having more time as a family. It’s been amazing to watch our daughter grow up on tour with our incredible childcare family, getting through the last 7 years has truly taken a village! When you have a child of your own, you appreciate your own parents even more. I’m so thankful my parents have been able to take this journey with me, being there for the highs and lows, the tough love when I needed it, and lately being great babysitters!

There are many more people to thank privately over the next few months, but I do have to mention the sponsors that have supported me personally and my vision to grow women’s golf, Antigua, KPMG, Stephens, and Tyson.

You all were a huge part of my career and I’m proud of all that we have done together!

I’ve cared for the LPGA Tour like it was my own child and I’m so proud of the progress we have made, but to my fellow players, we aren’t done! I hope you all continue to push the tour forward and do all that you can to help on and off the course!

Now, it’s time to tee it up for the 19th time in the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, I can’t wait for all the Hog Calls and playing for all of you in Arkansas one more time!

GO HOGS!
