Birth and Early Background
Karrie Anne Webb was born on December 21, 1974, in Ayr, a rural town in Queensland, Australia. From a young age, she showed a keen interest in golf, eventually rising to become one of the sport's most successful female athletes.
Karrie Webb was a prominent member of Australia’s national amateur golf team, making six international appearances between 1992 and 1994. Her amateur career culminated in 1994 when she won the Australian Stroke Play Championship, cementing her reputation as one of the country's most promising young golfers.
Webb turned professional in 1994 and began her career on the Ladies European Tour. That year, she finished second at the Women’s Australian Open and also played on the Futures Tour in the United States, where she secured a victory. In 1995, she claimed the Weetabix British Women’s Open title, becoming the youngest winner at that time. Though the event was not yet an LPGA major, it significantly boosted her international profile. She was named the European Rookie of the Year the same season.
Her breakthrough on the LPGA Tour came in 1996 when she captured her first LPGA title and three additional tournament wins. That year, Webb made history by becoming the first LPGA golfer to earn over $1 million in a single season. In 1997, she won three more LPGA events and claimed her first Vare Trophy for lowest scoring average.
The year 2000 marked a high point in Webb’s career, as she secured victories in two major tournaments: the Nabisco Championship and the U.S. Women’s Open. Her outstanding performance earned her the Rolex Player of the Year award for the second consecutive year. Although she came close to earning $2 million in prize money that season, she participated in the 2000 Olympic Torch relay, missing some tournament play.
In 2001, Webb teamed up with fellow Australian golfer Rachel Hetherington to win the Women’s World Cup of Golf in Malaysia. She also added another U.S. Women’s Open title to her resume that year. By the end of 2001, Webb had completed a career Grand Slam by winning all five major championships recognized by women’s golf—a rare and prestigious accomplishment.
Following a decline in performance from 2002 to 2005, Webb experienced a strong resurgence in 2006. She won five tournaments that year and returned to the top ranks in the world standings. Her consistent play reestablished her among the elite, and she remained a competitive force on the LPGA Tour for several more seasons.
Over the course of her career, Karrie Webb has tallied a total of 57 professional wins, including 41 LPGA Tour victories. This places her among the most successful golfers in the history of the women’s game.
Webb’s world rankings reflect her enduring presence at the top of the sport. She was ranked No. 3 in 2006 and rose to No. 2 in 2007. In subsequent years, her ranking fluctuated: she was ranked 10th in 2008, 13th in 2009, and 15th in 2010. She continued to maintain competitive form, ranking 18th in 2011, 16th in 2012, 8th in 2013, 9th in 2014, and 31st in 2015.
Karrie Webb's golfing excellence has been recognized with numerous awards. She has received the LPGA Rookie of the Year, multiple Vare Trophies, and the LPGA Achievement Award. Her legacy also includes multiple Rolex Player of the Year honors, and she has been inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Karrie Webb maintains a relatively private personal life, and little is publicly known about her relationships or family. She resides in the United States and is 5 feet 6 inches tall. As of recent estimates, she has a net worth of approximately $15 million. She engages with fans through social media and has a modest following on her Twitter account, @karrie_webb.
