After an excellent 2023, LPGA Tour veteran Sarah Kemp experienced a career-threatening knee injury in 2024. With hard work, mental resilience and a deep love for the game, Sarah made a stunning comeback to tour golf in early 2025. Today she shares her comeback story, her journey through golf and what lies ahead.


About Sarah:

Our guest today has seen both the highs and the lows of professional tour golf. Sarah Kemp was hailed by many as ‘the next Karrie Webb’ in her junior days and after joining the LPGA Tour in 2008, she has had a wonderful career, peaking with an outstanding season in 2023.
But the following year was to bring her to her lowest point when an accident with a golf cart caused a severe injury to her right leg, putting a cloud over her playing future.
With hard work and mental resilience, fuelled by a deep love for the game, Sarah has made it back to tour golf over the Australasian summer season, posting a career-best round in the process.
Today, she tells us of her journey through golf and what lies ahead for the popular player known widely as ‘our Kempy’.
