Wendy Ward (born May 6, 1973) is an American professional golfer who plays on the LPGA Tour.
Ward was born in San Antonio, Texas.
She attended Arizona State University where she had a successful National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) career. She was a two-time Honda Award winner, a three-time first team All American, the Pac-10 Champion in 1993 and 1995 and led ASU to team titles in 1993, 1994 and 1995. She graduated in 1995 with a degree in business Management.
In 1994, she won the U.S. Women's Amateur and represented the U.S. in the Curtis Cup, the biennial team competition between amateur golfers from the United States and those from Great Britain and Ireland.
Ward turned professional in 1995 and qualified for the LPGA Tour on her first attempt to become a rookie in 1996. Her first win came at the 1997 Fieldcrest Cannon Classic where she set both the all-time 54 and 72-hole LPGA scoring records; both records have since been broken.
She has won four tournaments on the tour. Her best season to date has been 2001, when she finished 12th on the official LPGA money list.
Ward was a member of the 2002, 2003 and 2005 U.S. Solheim Cup teams. She was also selected as an assistant captain to Juli Inkster for the 2015 Solheim Cup team.
Ward lives on a 300-acre (1.2 km2) cattle ranch in Edwall, Washington where she operates a cow/calf beef operation with her husband, Nate Hair.
