Donna Andrews - Part 3 (Tour Wins and Broadcasting)

In Part 3 of our four-part conversation with six-time LPGA Tour winner and major champion Donna Andrews, we continue our journey through the most pivotal moments of her storied career—and some unforgettable adventures along the way.

Fresh off her first major championship in 1994, Donna reflects on competing in what may be one of the deepest and most competitive eras in women’s golf, sharing memories of fierce battles with legends like Annika Sörenstam, Nancy Lopez, Betsy King, and Laura Davies. With her trademark blend of humor and humility, Donna offers insight into what set that generation apart and why records like Kathy Whitworth’s may still stand the test of time.

We revisit some of Donna’s most meaningful victories, including her emotional win at the 1997 Welch’s/Circle K Championship and a co-ed triumph alongside Mike Hulbert at the JC Penney Classic—where a cold-topped tee shot and an unexpected win over a young Tiger Woods made for an unforgettable memory.

From fishing boat mishaps and casino lessons with Laura Davies to spirited karaoke bus rides through Japan, Donna shares lighthearted stories from overseas exhibitions that cemented lifelong friendships and revealed the camaraderie of life on tour. She also opens up about the difficult decision to step away from competitive golf, the life changes that prompted it, and her seamless transition into broadcasting and teaching.

This episode offers a rich blend of laughter, candor, and perspective, as Donna reveals the highs and challenges of a professional golf career—and the importance of faith, family, and finding joy in the journey.
