Bronte May Law (born 12 March 1995) is an English professional golfer. Her maiden LPGA Tour victory, her first win as a professional, came in May 2019 at the Pure Silk Championship in Virginia. Her second professional victory occurred in October 2021 in Dubai; this was her first win on the Ladies European Tour.
Law was born in Stockport and attended Cheadle Hulme School and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). [1]
Law played for Great Britain & Ireland in the 2012, 2014 and 2016 Curtis Cup matches. In 2016, she became the second player, and the first from Great Britain and Ireland, to get a perfect 5–0 record. [1] [2] Also in 2016 she won the European Ladies Amateur Championship, becoming the world number 2 ranked player in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. [3]
Law turned professional late in 2016. She competed in the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament, earning full status on the Symetra Tour and partial status on the LPGA Tour for 2017. [4] [5] In December 2018, Law won through the Lalla Aicha Tour School with an all-time record score of twenty six-under-par to gain membership of the Ladies European Tour. Law shot nine consecutive birdies during her third round, a record on the Ladies European Tour. [6]
In early May 2019, Law lost to Kim Sei-young in a playoff for the LPGA Mediheal Championship. Three weeks later she won the Pure Silk Championship for her first victory on the LPGA Tour. [7] Law made her first Solheim Cup appearance in 2019 at Gleneagles Hotel, Scotland. Law finished the tournament with a 1–1–2 (win–loss–tie) record as Europe sealed a 14.5-13.5 victory over the United States. Law defeated Ally McDonald 2 and 1 in the singles. [8] Speaking about the Cup, Law said "I've never experienced anything like this in my life and I don't know whether I ever will again." [9]
Law won her first Ladies European Tour title at the 2021 Dubai Moonlight Classic, finishing one-stroke clear of Maria Fassi at Emirates Golf Club. [10] She won her second LET title the following year, when she made an eagle on the final hole to beat Georgia Hall to the title of the Aramco Team Series-London at the Centurion Club. [11]
In February 2024, Law won the Lalla Meryem Cup, securing a three-stroke victory. [12] She finished third at the Aramco Team Series-Tampa in March, four-strokes behind champion Alexandra Försterling. [13]
Law is the daughter of Morven and Timothy Law. She has a younger sister named Isabella. Law studied sociology at UCLA, where she met one of her best friends, teammate Alison Lee. The two have each led solid careers early on the LPGA Tour. She grew up an avid competitor in all sports, and is a big football fan, holding allegiances to Manchester United.[ citation needed ]
