Former Golf Player, Won Four LPGA Tour Major Tournaments, Co-Authored ‘Carefree Golf’ & Was Inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame

Dame Laura Davies stands as one of England’s most decorated and influential golfers, with a career defined by record-breaking triumphs and fearless trailblazing. With 87 professional tour victories worldwide, including four LPGA Tour majors, she remains Britain’s most successful female golfer. From her historic U.S. Women’s Open win in 1987 to becoming the all-time leading scorer in the Solheim Cup, Davies has consistently broken barriers, famously as the first woman to compete on the men’s European Tour. She has cemented her legacy as a global sporting icon and an enduring inspiration in golf.

Dame Laura began her professional career in 1985 and quickly established herself as one of golf’s brightest talents. Her early achievements were recognised with the Rookie of the Year award and Order of Merit titles, setting the stage for her international breakthrough. In 1988, she was awarded an MBE for her services to golf, followed by a CBE in 2000 after more than a decade of sustained success on the global stage.

In 1994, she made history by becoming the first golfer to win on five different tours in a single year. This period of dominance secured her the Sports Journalists’ Association Sportswoman of the Year title in consecutive years. Her standing in the sport continued to grow, and she went on to represent Europe in multiple Solheim Cups, becoming the all-time leading points scorer.

Her career achievements were recognised again in 2014 when she was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. A year later, she was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. In addition to these honours, Davies was appointed the first Honorary President of the Parliamentary Golf Group, further cementing her influence beyond the course while continuing to inspire future generations.

Dame Laura Davies co-authored the book “Carefree Golf”, sharing her insights into strategy, psychology, and training for women golfers. She later published “Naturally…”, offering a more personal perspective on her golfing journey. She has contributed interviews and articles to leading golf publications and serves as a regular commentator on Sky Sports, the BBC, and international golf broadcasts, bringing her expertise to global audiences.
