Born on June 6, 1990, Brooke Pancake is an American professional golfer who joined the LPGA Tour in 2012. She played collegiate golf for the University of Alabama, where she was a standout member of the Alabama Crimson Tide golf team. Pancake was named an All-American three times and turned professional following her senior year, during which she helped lead her team to its first national championship.
Brooke Pancake had a distinguished amateur career while attending the University of Alabama. In her sophomore year, she contributed to Alabama winning its first Southeastern Conference (SEC) Women's Golf Championship—a historic victory, as the university had never achieved this title since the event's inception in 1974.
As a senior, Pancake reached the semifinals of the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship and played a key role in guiding Alabama to their first-ever NCAA National Championship in women’s golf, where she finished as the runner-up individually. Her achievements culminated in being awarded the prestigious Honda Sports Award for golf in the 2011–2012 academic year, recognizing her as the nation’s top female collegiate golfer.
She was also named to the All-American team for three consecutive years and excelled academically, receiving honors such as the Elite 89 Award in 2010 and the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America of the Year for Division I, along with the SEC Women's Golf Scholar-Athlete of the Year award in both 2011 and 2012.
Pancake earned widespread recognition for her academic achievements during her collegiate career. She was honored as a National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) Scholar-Athlete in 2010, 2011, and 2012. She also received the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year award for women's golf in those same years. Notably, Pancake became the first female student-athlete and the first golfer from the University of Alabama to earn such a combination of academic and athletic honors.
Brooke Pancake graduated from the University of Alabama and remains closely tied to her roots. In her personal time, she enjoys swimming and running to stay fit. Although she pursued a career in golf, she has expressed that she might have chosen singing if she hadn’t become a professional athlete.
She enjoys grilled chicken and green beans, and has a well-known fondness for sweets and candy bars, often carrying them in her bag during tournaments. She also maintains a consistent skincare routine—never traveling without her face wash. Pancake frequently calls her mother when traveling and cites “Sweet Home Alabama” as her favorite movie.
Her cheerful personality has earned her several nicknames including "Bookie," "Cakes," "Pancakes," and "Waffles."
Pancake enjoys the travel that comes with playing on the LPGA Tour. With every tournament, she explores new countries and cultures. She delights in learning about the history and traditions of each destination, often collecting keepsakes and sweets to bring back home. Pancake tries to engage with local customs and cuisines during her visits, making her participation on the global golfing circuit a culturally rich experience.
Brooke Pancake's accomplishments extend beyond her athletic success. She was named SEC Women’s Golf Scholar-Athlete of the Year for three consecutive years and received NGCA Scholar-Athlete recognition during the same period. Her combination of academic and athletic excellence made her a standout figure in collegiate sports.
Her visibility on the LPGA Tour has earned her a notable fan following, particularly among golf enthusiasts. While fans often express interest in her personal life, Pancake has noted in interviews and blog posts that her professional schedule leaves little time for the spotlight outside of golf. She has commented on becoming accustomed to life on the road, including constant travel and the practicalities of rental cars and tournament logistics.
