Cristie Kerr

Following her decisive victory at the 2007 U.S. Women’s Open, her first major championship title, Cristie Kerr solidified her status as a formidable force in professional golf. Having turned professional in 1996 and joining the LPGA Tour in 1997, Kerr had already built a strong foundation, securing her maiden LPGA victory in 2002 at the Longs Drugs Challenge. She continued her ascent, claiming three tournament wins in 2004, which led to a fifth-place finish on the money list, and two more victories in 2005, placing third on the money list.

Demonstrating sustained excellence, Kerr added the CME Group Tour Championship title to her repertoire in 2015. She continued to achieve significant milestones in 2017, securing her 19th and 20th career wins on the LPGA Tour, alongside a victory at the Lacoste Ladies Open de France. Beyond individual triumphs, Kerr has been a consistent and vital member of the U.S. Solheim Cup team, participating in multiple editions and contributing significantly to team victories.

Beyond the golf course, Kerr is a passionate advocate for breast cancer awareness and research. She founded the ‘Birdies for Breast Cancer’ foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting research initiatives, and also established Curvature Wines, with a portion of its proceeds benefiting the cause. Looking ahead, Kerr is slated to compete in the LPGA Legends Championship in 2025, continuing her legacy as a formidable presence in professional golf.
