As a Christian – I love to discover who the believers in Jesus Christ are on the LPGA Tour. It’s neat to see how they are using their platform for the glory of God.
Matthew 5:17 calls Christians to “let their light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your father who is in heaven.” Obviously some are more vocal about their faith than others.
Growing up, I learned that Betsy King was a Christian from some of the interviews she gave and enjoyed following her progress. King has a rare career in that she didn’t win for the first seven years on the LPGA tour, but then went on to win 34 times after her break-through in 1984. Between 1984 to 1989, she won 20 events – more than any pro golfer during that period, male or female.
So, as a Christian yourself (or someone who may be interested in the subject), you could be curious about who are the other Christians on the ladies tour. I will try and keep this list updated as the time goes by. While I’m not connected to the LPGA or do I know these players’ hearts – I am going by reports about their faith or things they’ve said or wrote.
Feel free to let me know in the comments if you know of other Christians who are not on this list.

Rose Zhang’s interview after her first LPGA win (playing in her first tournament as a pro), gives glory to God.
Thank you for this list. I was just looking for something like this.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Jonathan.
Thank you for starting a list for the LPGA. Lydia Ko and Betsy King should be added to the list.
God bless you and yours!
Thank you for stopping by Gil! I’ll research Lydia (but am only listing current members of LPGA – realize King is a noted Christian golfer however).
