Lindsey Weaver-Wright ended her 2023 LPGA season on a high when she holed out for eagle from the 137 yards on No. 18 on her home course in Texas. Now seven months pregnant, Weaver-Wright heads into maternity leave with a fun highlight to share with the family.
“Honestly, it was unbelievable,” she said. “Just so surreal to end my season like that and start maternity leave.”
Weaver-Wright, who announced on July 4 that she’s having a boy, shot 1-under 70 and currently sits in the top 20 at the Ascendant LPGA benefitting Volunteers of America. She’s been a member of Old American Golf Club for several years now and lives in the area with her husband Zach.
Weaver-Wright said she typically brings a chair on the golf course so that she can sit down in between shots to help with back pain. This week, however, she managed to play a round without it.

“It’s been tough, to be honest,” said Weaver-Wright of playing pregnant. “I have a lot of different ailments day-to-day it seems like. But, I mean, I’ve taken the last two weeks with just the mindset that I’m just happy to be out here, lucky my body has allowed me to take it this far into pregnancy.”
Weaver-Wright said she plans to return to the tour in March.
