In this third installment of our four-part series with World Golf Hall of Fame member and two-time major champion Lorena Ochoa, we dive into the defining moments that cemented her legacy as one of the greatest golfers of all time.

Lorena takes us back to her early years on the LPGA Tour, from the challenges of her rookie season to the pivotal mental and physical adjustments that led to her first victories. She shares the pressure of proving herself among the sport’s elite, including Annika Sörenstam, and how she overcame early heartbreaks to emerge as a dominant force.

We revisit her breakthrough win at the 2006 Samsung World Championship, a moment when Lorena finally realized she could beat the best on the biggest stage. She also reflects on her victories in Mexico and the immense pride she felt in bringing the LPGA Tour to her home country, inspiring a new generation of Mexican golfers.

Beyond her on-course triumphs, Lorena opens up about the personal commitments that guided her career, including the early promise she made to herself to step away from the game at her peak and her unwavering dedication to her foundation. She discusses the balance between competition and life outside of golf, the mental toll of professional sports, and the lessons learned from playing alongside legends like Juli Inkster and Betsy King.

Join us for another captivating episode as we explore Lorena Ochoa’s road to dominance, her mindset as a champion, and the sacrifices behind her success, "FORE the Good of the Game."
