7 LPGA wins Stanford to retire after Lotte Championship

Blog Article

Angela Stanford of the U.S., who won seven games in the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour, will retire from active duty after the Lotte Championship, which opens on the 7th.

Stanford, which has already declared this season to be its last active player, is not eligible for the Annika Driven and CME Group Tour Championship after the Lotte Championship, making the Lotte Championship a retirement game, the golf channel said today (6th).

With three weeks left on her 47th birthday, Stanford stood firm on the LPGA Tour, unlike many juniors who retire without reaching 40.

Stanford, who won the ShopRite Classic for the first time in his career in 2003, has reached the top of the Voluntiers of America Classic seven times.

He said he remembered the 2009 SBS Open, which won the final round come-from-behind victory over the top-rated Michelle Wie of the U.S., and the 2018 Evian Championship, a major tournament, which he won at the age of 41.

Stanford finished 126th in the prize money rankings and 147th in CME Globe points this year after its performance went downhill after winning in 2020.

Stanford's departure from the LPGA Tour doesn't mean he's leaving the field.

Stanford, who is set to continue playing on the senior tour, has also indicated her goal of competing in the U.S. Women's Open by winning the senior U.S. Women's Open.

He also plans to play in the golf broadcasting sector, and there is a high possibility that he will be selected as the head of the U.S. team at the Solheim Cup.

"I'm going to miss everything," Stanford said. "I wasn't much of a spotlight or a celebrity. He was like John Jenkins, who was never known for his presence or absence, and he wasn't a favorite. But that doesn't mean it didn't matter. Everything was precious to me." 먹튀검증
