Karrie Webb
2026 Francis Ouimet Award Recipient One of the most accomplished and respected players in the history of the sport, Karrie Webb is the only individual to complete the Career Super Grand Slam by winning all five majors in women’s professional golf. Webb ranks top-10 in LPGA history in both career victories (41) and majors (7), including back-to-back U.S. Open titles in 2000 and 2001. She was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2005 at the age of 30, the youngest player ever to earn induction at the time. Born in Queensland, Australia, Webb burst onto the scene in 1996 by winning the LPGA Rookie of the Year Award and becoming the first LPGA player to surpass $1 million in single-season earnings. She would top the LPGA Tour’s money list on two other occasions (1999 and 2000), earning LPGA Tour Player of the Year honors following both seasons. Webb now focuses on golf course architecture and a range of charitable endeavors. Her philanthropic work includes support of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, which advances initiatives for individuals impacted by paralysis, the Karrie Webb Scholarship Series, created to grow the game for Australian women and girls, and she serves as an official Ambassador for the Special Olympics and its 2026 USA Games. She was also honored as an Officer of the Order of Australia for her distinguished service to golf as a player, role model, and mentor.

When I was a young girl just learning about golf, I would never have imagined standing here representing all Ouimet Scholars, speaking in front of 1,700 people. Your support has allowed me to pursue my dreams and become a first-generation college student.
