Reflecting on her incredible journey, Stacy, who spent 25 weeks as world number one, wrote on X, “Never in a million years, would I have thought this journey playing golf would still be going in 2025, but the time has come to put the clubs away. I will finish out the 2025 season, but this will be my last on the LPGA. I’m not exactly sure what is next but I’m so grateful for all the Arkansas fans and people that have supported me along way!”
Stacy noted that she is going to miss the LPGA and this part of her life.
On her decision to retire, Stacy said “my body has told me it’s time. My husband became a part of the team too fitting in seamlessly providing great balance and stability to my life. I’m looking forward to our calendars being more in sync and having more time as a family”.
