Stacy Lewis Announces Her Retirement from the LPGA at the End of the Season

American golfer Stacy Lewis, a two-time major champion and former world number one, has announced that the current season will be her last on the LPGA Tour. The 40-year-old athlete made the announcement through a social media post, where she stated: “My body has told me it’s time. Never in a million years would I have thought that this journey playing golf would continue in 2025, but the time has come to put away the clubs.”

After a lot of thought and prayer, I’ve decided that this will be my last season playing competitive golf. I’m so thankful for the amazing memories and friendships I’ve made along the way. I’m excited for what the future holds. ❤️ Thank you to all who have supported me! #LPGA pic.twitter.com/UjX72sO1Gg

Lewis’s golf career is full of achievements. She joined the LPGA Tour in 2009 after a distinguished career at the University of Arkansas, achieving 13 victories. Among them, the titles at the 2011 Kraft Nabisco Championship and the 2013 Women’s British Open, both majors, stand out.

In addition, she was part of four Solheim Cup teams as a player and then captained the group that defeated Europe in September 2024.

I have nurtured the LPGA Tour as if it were my own child and I am very proud of the progress we have made, but to my fellow players, we are not finished!”, she wrote. “I hope you all continue to push the tour and do everything you can to help on and off the course!
