Cristie Kerr Finds Winner’s Circle for First Time Since 2017 at LPGA Legends Championship
Cristie Kerr Finds Winner’s Circle for First Time Since 2017 at LPGA Legends Championship
When the final putt of the 2025 LPGA Legends Championship dropped, Cristie Kerr’s smile
couldn’t have been bigger. She had finally completed her redemption story, after finishing the
2024 edition of the event in second, three shots behind Angela Stanford.
The title is her first-ever victory on the Legends of the LPGA, and first since 2017 when she won
twice on the LPGA Tour, at the LOTTE Championship presented by HERSHEY and Sime Darby
LPGA Malaysia. The eight years that have passed, her husband’s 60th birthday and her
youngest son being there to witness his mom become a champion, made her celebratory
moment that much sweeter.

Winner comments
“It's been a long time since I won a tournament, and it's never easy to win on any tour. To have
my friends and family here, and to be able to get my first win in front of my youngest son,
Griffin… I'll take it to the grave,” said Kerr. “It is just so special. My other friends and family that
spent the entire week of their time with us to come out and support, it was really worth it. It
was amazing."
