PERFORMANCE ON THE GLOBAL STAGE – PLAYER, LEADER, SPEAKER

Amy is a member of the LPGA Tour and World Golf Halls of Fame. During Amy’s 27-year Tour career she was most recognized as the LPGA’s most creative shot-maker and her go-for-the-pin style of play was the bedrock for her 32 worldwide professional tournaments, including five major championships: 1979 Peter Jackson Classic; 1980 U.S. Women’s Open; and the 1983, 1988 and 1991 Nabisco Dinah Shore championships. Amy also is credited with starting one of golf’s greatest traditions: jumping into the 18th-greenside lake at Mission Hills Country Club, host site of the Nabisco Dinah Shore (now the ANA Inspiration).

Amy has traveled worldwide to compete in tournaments, perform in corporate golf events and clinics. Her success and colorful personality set the course early on for her role as spokesperson for a distinctive list of bluechip companies and charity organizations such as Elizabeth Arden, Sunkist, Ralph Lauren, Quaker Oats, Countrywide, Arthur Andersen & Co., and Mohawk Industries. Armed with astute observations and innum stories about golf’s personalities, the transition to TV commentator, speaker and writer was a natural. A partial list of companies that have retained her for speaking engagements are Wells Fargo Private Wealth, Brown-Forman, and Northern Trust. Her most recent book is “The Leaderboard: Conversations on Golf and Life”, with a foreword by Jim Nantz. Amy continues her partnership with the City of Hope as its goodwill ambassador and performs numerous charity outings and appearances for the world leader in research and the treatment of cancer.
