Alice Rhodes Receives Sponsor Invitation for Major LPGA event
Alice Rhodes, a fast-rising star in women’s golf, has received a sponsor invitation to a major LPGA event. The invitation comes after a string of notable performances on the Ladies European Tour (LET).
rhodes turned professional after representing Great Britain and Ireland in the Curtis Cup at Sunningdale last year. Since then, she has claimed LET victories at the New south Wales Open, the Joburg Ladies open, and the Dutch Open, showcasing her potential on the professional stage. Her rapid ascent has propelled her into the world’s top 100, currently sitting at No. 89.
Rhodes expressed disbelief at her swift success. “I would have told them that they’re crazy and they’re lying,” she said, reflecting on how she would have reacted to predictions of her current achievements. “It’s astonishing, how much I’ve achieved in such a short period of time. I’m just grateful for the process and grateful to be here and just want to make the most of it.”
The other sponsor invitation was extended to Stacy Lewis, a former U.S. Solheim Cup captain. Rhodes learned of her invitation two weeks prior, describing it as “one of the best messages of my life.”
Rhodes will join fellow English players Charley Hull, Georgia hall, and Jodi Ewart Shadoff, along with Scotland’s Gemma Dryburgh, in the 156-player field. “I knew it’d be quite hard to get into the field, you know, being a major,” Rhodes said, acknowledging the challenge of entering such a prestigious event. “I guess it was a shock, definitely.But also showed me that I can be at the same level as other LPGA players and just gave me the reassurance that my game is where it can be to beat the best in the world.”
The rising star acknowledges the whirlwind nature of her recent success. “Everything’s kind of happened so fast,” Rhodes said. “I haven’t really had time to wrap my head around everything. you go back home and members at your club come up to you, and you have all of these people coming up to you and asking you for pictures. That’s when you sort of realise that, you know, you’ve done a big thing and, you’ve been playing pretty good golf.”
Rhodes is scheduled to tee off at 1:55 p.m.BST alongside Esther Henseleit, a European Solheim Cup player, and Aditi Ashok of India, on a par-72 course measuring 6,604 yards.
“I really like it,” Rhodes said of the course. “It’s in really, really good condition. The greens are quite slopey, but quite big, and it’s a long course. I like my long irons,so I’ve enjoyed the days I’ve been practising it. I just have to have fun out there and hopefully the putts drop.”
What’s next
Rhodes aims to continue her momentum and make a strong impression at the upcoming major LPGA event, further solidifying her position among the elite in women’s golf.
