Natalie Gulbis Profile
Natalie Anne Gulbis (born January 7, 1983) is an American professional golfer who plays on the U.S.-based LPGA Tour. She started finding interest in the game at the early age of 4. By the time she reached 7 years old, she had won her first tournament. In three years, at age 10, she was breaking par. She played in her first LPGA tour event as an amateur at the age of 14 (handicap of 2). She turned professional at the age of 18 after playing for one season on the women’s golf team at the University of Arizona.Gulbis did not win a tournament in the first five years of her professional career but still finished sixth on the LPGA money list in 2005 with over $1 million (U.S.) in earnings and played on the winning United States Solheim Cup team. She placed in the top 10 in four consecutive major championships from the 2005 LPGA Championship to the 2006 Kraft Nabisco Championship.
Gulbis’ first professional win came in 2007 at the Evian Masters where she defeated Jeong Jang in a playoff to claim the winner’s share of the $3,000,000 purse.
She is considered to be a sex symbol in the LPGA. She released a 2005 calendar, just before the 2004 U.S. Women’s Open, which featured her not only playing golf, but also in striking poses in swimwear.
