Laura Jane Davies CBE (born 5 October 1963 in Coventry, England) is an English professional golfer.

She is considered the most accomplished English female golfer of modern times[1] [2] being the first non-American to finish at the top of the LPGA money list.[1] She also won the LET Order of Merit a record seven times: in 1985, 1986, 1992, 1996, 1999, 2004 and 2006.[3] [4]

She currently has 70 professional wins worldwide, 20 on the LPGA including four majors.[5] She is a member of U.S. based LPGA Tour and a life member of the Ladies European Tour. Because she has 72 career titles, she is likely to be voted into the LPGA Hall of Fame.[6]

Contents

Amateur career

As an amateur Davies was an international player for Great Britain with a notable record. She was the 1983 English Intermediate Champion, the 1984 Welsh Open Stroke Play Champion and the South Eastern Champion in both 1983 and 1984.[3] She was also a member of the Great Britain and Ireland Curtis Cup Team in 1984.[7] She turned professional in 1985.

Professional career

Laura Davies started her professional career on the WPGET (now LET) tour in 1985 when she won both Rookie of the Year and Order of Merit titles.[3] She subsequently won the Sports Journalists' Association Peter Wilson Trophy as International Newcomer of the Year 1985.[8] She repeated the Order of Merit win in 1986 having won four titles, one of which was the British Women's Open (prior to it becoming a major).[3]

In 1987 she went to the United States and won the U.S. Women's Open in an 18-hole playoff against Ayako Okamoto and JoAnne Carner. It was a victory that led the LPGA to amend its constitution. Davies was not a member of the LPGA Tour, so the LPGA changed its constitution to grant Davies automatic membership.[9] Since 1988 Laura Davies has played on both the LPGA and LET tours.

In 1988 Davies won twice as a rookie on the LPGA Tour, three times on the LET Tour and once in Japan, becoming the first woman ever to win on all three major Tours in the same year.[1]

In 1990 she was a member of the inaugural European Solheim Cup Team. She returned as part of the winning European team in 1992.[10]

In 1994 she was the first golfer, male or female, to win on five different golf tours in one calendar year: US, Europe, Asia, Japan and Australia.[3] [11] and became the first European player to be ranked unofficial number one in the world.[1] She was named the Sports Journalists' Association Sportswoman of the Year 1995 and 1996.[8]

Davies is the only player to participate in all ten Solheim Cup teams to date (1990-2007) on either the United States or European side.[12] [13]

Davies was part of the LPGA team at the Wendy’s 3-Tour Challenge three times between 1994 and 1996.[14]

She represented England at the Women's World Cup of Golf in 2005 (with Karen Stupples),[15] 2006 (with Kirsty Taylor)[16] and 2007 (with Trish Johnson).[17] She was a Captain's pick for the International Team at the 2006 Lexus Cup.[18]

In 2004 Davies was the first woman to compete in the men's European Tour, entering the ANZ Championship in Sydney, Australia.[19] [20] She failed to make the cut, finishing second to last.

Davies currently holds the LPGA record for most eagles in a season, scoring 19 during the 2004 season.

She played on every Solheim Cup team from the inception of the matches in 1990 through 2009, the only player to play in all eleven Solheim Cup events.

Other awards and honors

Davies was awarded an MBE in 1988 and a CBE in 2000.[21] [22]

Off-course activities

Davies published an autobiography in 1996.[23]

Davies enjoys all sports and is an avid football fan and a Liverpool FC supporter.[3] She organises the annual football match at the Evian Masters Tournament in France[24] [25] [26] and she has in the past been fined by the Ladies European Tour for watching an England versus Spain European Championship football match on a portable television during the final round of the 1996 Evian Masters in France, a tournament she nevertheless won.[6]

She is also the captain of the Rest of the World team in the annual Rest of the World V Australia cricket match held during the ANZ Ladies Masters.[27] [28]

In 2001, Davies joined the BBC Sport commentary team member at The Open Championship.[29] and has regularly appeared in the commentary box for major golfing events on the BBC.

Davies has built a nine-hole golf course (one full size green and greenside bunker plus nine tees) in the garden of her house. In 2004 she hosted a celebrity fourball tournament for the charity Sport Relief.[30]

Davies has always had an interest in gambling being a former bookmaker's assistant[31] and her interest has led to her becoming a racehorse owner.[32]

In 2006 Davies completed a 56 mile charity walk along the Great Wall of China to raise funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital.[33]
