Karrie Webb


Karrie Anne Webb (born 21 December 1974) is an Australian professional golfer, and is Australia's best female player and one of the most successful players of all time. She has won a large number of major championships, including the Women's British Open in 1995, 1997, and 2002, and the U.S. Women's Open in 2000 and 2001, amongst a number of other tournaments.

Webb grew up in Ayr in Queensland, and still maintains a residence there. She began her professional golfing career in 1994, joining the US LPGA tour in 1996.

She qualified for the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2000, but was not eligible for induction until she completed her 10th year on the LPGA tour in 2005. Webb met the 10-year criterion on June 9, 2005 when she completed the first round of the LPGA Championship, her 10th start in that year. She will become the youngest living person ever to enter the Hall of Fame, and will keep that distinction until 2007, when fellow LPGA star and Hall of Fame qualifier Se Ri Pak completes her 10th year on tour. (The 19th century great Tom Morris, Jr., who was elected in 1975, died at age 24.) Karrie Webb currently has endorsement deals with Epson, Srixon Golf, Oakley, and Lazy Susan. In 2003 Webb was outed as lesbian by an Australian journalist. Webb is currently involved in a relationship with fellow LPGA player Kelly Robbins
