The first time Michelle McGann stepped foot onto a golf course she was only 7 years old. It’s her love of the game that has kept her playing one of the most strategic and challenging sports after 30+ years.

The sport has kept McGann traveling as a 3-time Florida State Junior Champion, the 1987 USGA Junior Girls Champion, AJGA Rolex Junior Player of the Year, 1987 Rolex Junior First-Team All-American, and the 1988 Doherty Cup Championship. GOLF Magazine and GOLF Digest named her Amateur of the Year in 1987. At age 18 after graduating from an all girls’ prep school, Rosarian Academy, in West Palm Beach with honors, McGann made the monumental decision to skip college and give the LPGA tour a go.

Since joining the LPGA Tour McGann won 8 professional tournaments and participated in two Solheim Cups. She's been fortunate to play golf with Presidents, captains of industry, and some of the greatest sportsmen and women in history.

McGann also founded The Michelle McGann Fund, which receives donations and awards grants for furthering juvenile diabetes management in three areas: awareness, education and support. The mission of the Fund is to promote a healthy lifestyle now and in the future for individuals and families dealing with a new type 1 diabetes diagnosis.
