FORE the Good of the Game

Lorena Ochoa - Part 4 (The Majors and Life After Golf)


Listen Later

In the final chapter of our four-part conversation with Lorena Ochoa, the legendary 2-time major champion and World Golf Hall of Fame member reflects on the pinnacle of her career and the transition into life beyond professional golf.

Lorena takes us back to her dominant years on the LPGA Tour, including her unforgettable 2007 Women's British Open victory at the Old Course at St. Andrews and her emotional triumph at Mission Hills, where she famously leaped into Poppie’s Pond after winning the 2008 Kraft Nabisco Championship. With eight wins in 2007 and seven more in 2008, she shares how it felt to be at the peak of her game, playing with confidence, joy, and purpose.

But as much as golf shaped her life, Lorena’s true passion was always giving back. She opens up about the decision to retire at age 28, stepping away as the world’s No. 1 player to focus on family and philanthropy. She dives into the incredible impact of the Lorena Ochoa Foundation, which has provided education and opportunities to thousands of underprivileged children in Mexico.

In a heartfelt conclusion, Lorena shares the life lessons she’s learned, the one mulligan she’d take, and how she hopes to be remembered—not just as a champion golfer, but as someone who made a difference beyond the course.

Join us for an inspiring episode as we celebrate the career and legacy of one of golf’s greatest ambassadors, Lorena Ochoa, "FORE the Good of the Game."
