Christine Wolf ended her professional career at last week’s VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open watched on by friends, her husband and her daughter.
The Austrian started playing golf at the age of 10 and attended the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Wolf made the decision to turn professional in 2012 and played on the LET Access Series winning the 2012 Crete Ladies Open.
Since 2014, she played on the Ladies European Tour and during her time she represented Austria at the Olympic Games in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020.
Wolf finally broke into the winner’s circle in 2019 when she won the Hero Women’s Indian Open and got revenge from one year earlier.
In 2018 at DLF Golf and Country Club, the Austrian star had found the water on the final hole to finish with a double bogey and miss out on the trophy.
However, one year later she sunk her part putt on the last to win by three strokes ahead of Norway’s Marianne Skarpnord.
“Looking back, I don’t know how I did it! I love that course,” remembered Wolf. “It’s a tough course, but for some reason those years I played it really well.
“I just remember I player bogey-free and I love going back there even the years after defending and then the years that came after that. I love that place. I felt comfortable there and it’s definitely one of the highlights of my career.”
Wolf, who secured 21 top-10 finishes during her career on the LET, got married to husband Robert in 2024 and gave birth to their daughter Mia in April 2025.
The LET winner returned for one more special week on the LET at the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open where she bowed out and announced her retirement after finishing her second round.
“I just wanted to play one more nice week and I’ve always loved coming here. It’s close to home. People are so nice and then I asked for an invite and got it. I just love it here and my best friend from Tour Caro [Rominger] lives here. It was nice having her on the bag yesterday too,” said Wolf.
“[I will remember] all the friendships I created. I’m still very close with a lot of the girls that already retired. We still stay in touch, and I guess that what you take out the most is the friendships that stay after your time playing on Tour.
“I hope that I could give something back. I love living in Austria and growing up there. I hope that I could give them back enough that they like to see what we did on Tour and that they can come out now. I hope that we’ll have a few more wins with an Austrian flag beside their name.”
