Laura Davies is considered the most accomplished English female golfer, being the first non-American to finish at the top of the LPGA money list. She also won the LET Order of Merit seven times. Davies currently has 69 professional wins worldwide. She is also a member of the US based LPGA Tour and the Ladies European Tour.

The first Laura Davies appearance on the links began with a notable record. As an amateur, Davies was an international player for Great Britain, winning the 1983 English Intermediate Champion, the 1984 Welsh Open Stroke Play Champion, and the South Eastern Champion in both 1983 and 1984. She was also a member of the Great Britain and Ireland Curtis Cup Team in 1984.

Winning both Rookie of the Year and Order of Merit in 195 signaled the beginning of what would become a successful professional career on the LET tour. In the same year, she also won the Sports Journalists’ Association Peter Wilson Trophy as International Newcomer of the Year. She again won the Order of Merit in 1986, having won four titles, one of which was the British Women’s Open.

Davies’ victory at the US Women’s Open led the LPGA to revise its constitution, granting her automatic membership, as Davies was not a member of the LPGA Tour then. 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. In 1990, she became a member of the inaugural European Solheim Cup Team. In 1994, she became the first golfer to win on five different golf tours in one year. She was named the Sports Journalists’ Association Sportswoman of the Year 1995 and 1996.
