Trish Johnson has been appointed a Member of the British Empire (MBE) in the King’s Birthday Honours List, which was announced over the weekend.
The Ladies European Tour (LET) legend, who represented Europe in the Solheim Cup, has been recognised for her services to women’s golf.
Johnson turned professional in 1987 and won the LET’s Rookie of the Year after winning three tournaments that season; in 1990, she won four tournaments and was crowned the Order of Merit winner that year.
In total, Johnson has won 19 LET titles, she has three wins on the LPGA Tour and six wins on the Legends Tour including three major championships.
The 59-year-old also won the Solheim Cup on two occasions lifting the trophy for Europe in 1992 and 2000 making eight appearances in total.
Johnson, who still plays on Tour, has turned her hand to broadcasting in recent years covering men’s and women’s golf on the radio and television.
