Born in Australia, Jan Stephenson has called Florida home for more than 20 years. After winning the Wills Australian Ladies Open in 1973, she joined the LPGA Tour and was named LPGA Rookie of the Year in 1974. She won three major championship events and 16 LPGA Tour Events and famously became the face of the LPGA. She also claims 10 wins in the LPGA Legends Tour – the official Seniors Tour of the LPGA which she helped found. Her most recent win on the Tour was in 2021. She was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2019.   Stephenson’s resume off the course is impressive as well. She is one of only a few women golf course designers, designing Indian River Preserve located just north of Titusville in Mims, FL. Her foundation, Jan Stephenson’s Crossroads Foundation for Wounded Warriors, purchased Tarpon Woods Golf Club in Palm Harbor, FL where they provide opportunities for disabled veterans and first responders to enjoy golf.
