Leona Maguire (born 30 November 1994)[1] is an Irish professional golfer. She held the record for the most weeks at the top of the World Amateur Golf Ranking,[2] and in 2022 became the first — and, to date, only — Irish woman to win on the LPGA Tour. In 2024 she became the first Irish woman to win on the Ladies European Tour.
With a score of 61 in the final round of the 2021 Evian Championship, Maguire holds the record for the lowest-ever score in the final round of any major championship (men or women) and the joint lowest round in any round of a major.[3] During the 2021 Solheim Cup, she broke the all-time rookie points record in either the Solheim Cup or the Ryder Cup with a total of 4.5.
