Cristie Kerr's Weight Loss Journey in a Nutshell

Cristie Kerr is a top female golfer known for participating on the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) Tour. She is an experienced tournament professional with 20 wins on the LPGA circuit, including two major championships.

Cristie Kerr is predominantly left-handed, but she plays golf with her right hand. She is, of course, one of the world’s best golfers, rated number one in the Women’s World Golf Rankings on three occasions in 2010.

Looking from the outside, the career of the highest-earning American woman golfer may have been exceptional, but Cristie’s life has been anything but plain sailing. She dealt with weight loss struggles most of her adult life, but she ended up conquering them with positive weight loss transformation.

Cristie Kerr’s Weight Loss Journey – How Many Pounds Did She Lose?

As per USA Today, Cristie Kerr’s weight loss was caused by the overwhelming distress she endured through her family’s health issues. In 2010, her father was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and her mother, a survivor of breast cancer, required 10 inches of her colon to be extracted. The tension she experienced from all these tragedies was one of the major factors in her weight loss.

Later, Kerr was actually motivated to seek her own weight loss by changing her dietary behaviors. She took out alcohol and fried foods from her diet and began visiting the gym twice a day. She managed to lose 50 pounds in the process, doing so for a few months.

During the 2007 games, Cristie Kerr was unrecognizable to her own father. Through the years, Cristie has fallen from 180 pounds to 125 lbs. This is all due to her change to a balanced lifestyle and an intensive fitness schedule.

With three LPGA Asian activities dropped due to coronavirus and the LPGA canceled for a month, Kerr was taking advantage of the chance. As for what the fans would expect. “I think I’m going to have a blast this week, because I know I can’t play,” she said.

“When I was doing CME last year, it was a great experience. I was there, but part of my heart hurt that I wasn’t playing. But I did a great job, and I learned a lot. Being here, knowing I can’t play in the tournament, it’s going to be a lot more fun for me, I think.”
