The golfing community is notorious for its unabated celebration of its players’ milestones, whether they occur on the green or off it. Significant achievements in the professional circuit or personal developments are all causes for cheer. Pregnancies, for instance, have often been joyously announced by golfing greats like Emma Talley, Jessica Korda, and Linsey Weaver Wright. Now, another name has been added to this illustrious list.
Alison Lee, a revered American golf professional, has been conspicuous by her absence from the course since her last appearance at the Maybank Championship in October 2024. The reason for her sudden withdrawal after the first round was cited as an undisclosed injury. However, fans were left in the dark with no further information regarding her condition or expected return. This sparked a cloud of worry among her ardent followers.
However, the suspense was recently lifted when the 30-year-old professional took to her Instagram to share an exciting development in her personal life. The post, cryptically captioned “Coming soon…”, was a carousel of maternity photoshoot images featuring Lee and her fiancé. This announcement has indeed sparked a flurry of celebrations in the golfing world. From her professional debut in 2014 to boasting two victories to her name and now, the joy of impending motherhood, Lee’s life has been an exhilarating journey of personal and professional milestones.
The announcement of her pregnancy was met with joyous reactions from fans and fellow golfers alike. LPGA professionals lined up to congratulate Lee on her post. Paige Spiranac was quick to like and celebrate the news. Michelle Wie West, a former LPGA star and mother of two, also extended her warm wishes with two enthusiastic comments, “OMG THESE ARE GORGEOUS,” and “YOU ARE GORGEOUS.” West, who has been open about her experiences of balancing professional tournaments with motherhood, was at the forefront of the celebration.
Joining the chorus were Meghan Khang and Lilia Vu, who expressed their excitement with comments like, “Yeesss hot mama!!!! Congratulations,” and a series of red heart emojis. Cheyenne Woods, another professional golfer and mother, echoed their sentiments with a comment, “CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!” Woods herself has been a prominent figure in the golfing world, even after stepping away from the course to embrace motherhood.
Adding to the flood of good wishes were Rose Zhang, Lydia Ko, and Mel Reid, who shared comments like “AHHH,” “Yayyyy!” and “Glowing.” Reid herself recently celebrated the birth of her son, Kai, on November 8, 2023.
