Stephanie Kyriacou Bio
Stephanie Kyriacou is an Australian professional golfer and LPGA Tour player born on 22 November 2000 in Sydney, New South Wales. She competes on the Ladies European Tour, the LPGA Tour, and the WPGA Tour of Australasia, and has collected multiple professional titles since turning pro in early 2020. Standing 5 ft 2 in tall, she has quickly built a reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting young players.
Early Life and Background
Stephanie Kyriacou was born and raised in Sydney, New South Wales, where she still resides. She first picked up a golf club at the age of four, and the sport quickly became a central part of her childhood. Her early development came through local programs and competitive junior golf in New South Wales.
Kyriacou came through the Jack Newton Junior Golf Programme, one of Australia’s best-known pathways for young players. She played in her first Jack Newton tournament, the 2011 State Junior Medals, when she was just ten years old, gaining valuable experience against older competition. That early grounding helped her transition from recreational play to serious competitive golf as a teenager.
Path to Professional Golf
By her late teens, Kyriacou was competing at a high amateur level across Australia and beyond. Her big breakthrough came in January 2020, when, still an amateur, she won the Australian Ladies Classic at Bonville Golf Resort in New South Wales by eight strokes. Her total of 22-under-par featured a second round of 63, the lowest score ever recorded at Bonville, and made her only the tenth amateur winner in the 42-year history of the Ladies European Tour.
Although Kyriacou could not collect the prize money because of her amateur status, the win earned her a two-year exemption on the Ladies European Tour. She turned professional two days later, on 25 January 2020, and made her professional debut at the Women’s NSW Open at Dubbo Golf Club, where she missed the cut but officially began her pro career. By the end of that disrupted season, she had also made the cut at her first major, the 2020 Women’s British Open, and been named LET Rookie of the Year.
Stephanie Kyriacou Career
Early Career (2020)
Kyriacou’s 2020 season was a study in contrasts. After her stunning amateur win at Bonville, she struggled at her first professional event at Dubbo. When play resumed later in the year following the global pause, she steadied herself with a made cut at the Women’s British Open, a runner-up finish at the Ladies Swiss Open behind Amy Boulden, and a fifth place at both the Czech Ladies Open and the Lacoste Ladies Open de France.
Those results were strong enough for Kyriacou to be crowned LET Rookie of the Year, confirming her status as one of the most promising rookies in women’s golf.
Ladies European Tour Breakthrough (2020–2021)
After collecting her Bonville trophy as an amateur, Kyriacou finally secured her first win as a professional in 2021. She captured the Big Green Egg Open with a bogey-free final round of 67, winning by two strokes over Finland’s Sanna Nuutinen. The victory was a defining moment, showing that her earlier success was no fluke.
Kyriacou finished the 2021 LET season third in the Order of Merit after recording ten top-10 finishes. Her consistency, combined with a second LET title, established her as a fixture near the top of the tour’s rankings and laid the groundwork for a move to the LPGA Tour.
LPGA Tour (2022–Present)
Kyriacou joined the LPGA Tour in 2022 after earning her card through qualifying school. In her rookie season, her best finish was a tied 7th at the 2022 Women’s British Open at Carnoustie Golf Links, a strong showing at one of the game’s marquee majors.
In 2023, she posted top-5 finishes at the Dana Open and The Annika on the LPGA Tour, as well as at the Aramco Team Series – Hong Kong on the LET, confirming her ability to contend on multiple tours. Her biggest career moment came in 2024 at The Evian Championship, where she held the lead going into the final round before finishing runner-up behind Ayaka Furue, who overtook her with an eagle on the last hole.
2025 Season
Kyriacou’s 2025 campaign has included a T30 finish at the Chevron Championship, with other major appearances keeping her in the mix against the world’s best. She continues to balance her schedule across the LPGA Tour, LET and select WPGA Tour of Australasia events.
Notable Events and Milestones
Kyriacou’s career is already studded with milestones: an eight-shot amateur win at Bonville, two LET titles, the LET Rookie of the Year award, ten top-10 finishes in a single LET season, and a runner-up finish at The Evian Championship. Her 63 at Bonville remains one of the most talked-about rounds in LET history.
Stephanie Kyriacou Career Wins
Since turning professional in 2020, Stephanie Kyriacou has built a steady, multi-tour resume headlined by two Ladies European Tour titles. She has also posted a victory on the WPGA Tour of Australasia, contributing to her current total of three recognised professional titles.
Ladies European Tour Highlights
Kyriacou’s first LET win came as an amateur at the 2020 Australian Ladies Classic – Bonville, an eight-shot runaway that announced her arrival. Her first win as a professional came at the 2021 Big Green Egg Open, where she closed with a bogey-free 67 to win by two strokes. Both titles were co-sanctioned by the ALPG Tour, and they bookend her rise from promising junior to established tour player.
Other Wins and Performances
Beyond her LET wins, Kyriacou has recorded a WPGA Tour of Australasia title and has been a consistent presence in the top 10 across both the LET and LPGA Tour. Her runner-up finish at the 2024 Evian Championship stands as her highest finish in a major championship.

2025 Season Performance
Stephanie Kyriacou’s 2025 season reflects her growing comfort on the LPGA Tour. She opened her major-championship campaign with a T30 at the Chevron Championship and has continued to compete regularly on the LPGA, LET, and WPGA Tour of Australasia schedules. Her best major finish remains the runner-up result at the 2024 Evian Championship, and she is still chasing a first LPGA Tour title.
Balancing multiple tours keeps Kyriacou competitive week to week, and her experience of contending in majors should serve her well as the season unfolds. With two LET wins already on her resume, the next logical goal is an LPGA Tour breakthrough. If her 2024 Evian form is any indicator, that breakthrough may not be far away.
