Ladies European Tour Winner Amy Boulden Announces Retirement
The 2020 Swiss Ladies Open winner is regarded as one of the best Welsh female golfers of her generation


Amy Boulden has announced her retirement after an 11-year professional career.
Boulden, 31, turned pro in 2013 and won once on the Ladies European Tour, coming at the 2020 Swiss Ladies Open where she closed with a 64 to shoot 17-under-par and win by three.
She won the LET Rookie of the Year title in 2014, which came after her first pro win on the LET Access Series, also in Switzerland, at the Association Suisse de Golf Ladies Open.
Her best Major finish was a T9 at the 2015 Ricoh Women's British Open at Turnberry.
Boulden joined the pro ranks after an impressive amateur career that included a Curtis Cup win in 2012 alongside the likes of Charley Hull and Bronte Law. She also represented Wales in four European Ladies Team Championships and competed in various other team events like the Junior Solheim Cup and Vagliano Trophy.
In recent years Boulden has turned to broadcasting, regularly appearing on Sky Sports as well as working for The Open radio.
"As the 2024 season comes to a close, I wanted to take the time to share some news with you all…After 11 years of playing professionally on the Ladies European Tour, I have made the tough decision to step away from playing competitive golf," she wrote on social media.

Elliott Heath is our News Editor and has been with Golf Monthly since early 2016 after graduating with a degree in Sports Journalism. He manages the Golf Monthly news team as well as our large Facebook, X and Instagram pages. He covered the 2022 and 2025 Masters from Augusta National and was there by the 18th green to watch Rory McIlroy complete the career grand slam.

His first Open was in 2017 at Royal Birkdale, when he walked inside the ropes with Jordan Spieth during the Texan's memorable Claret Jug triumph. He has played 35 of our Top 100 golf courses, with his favourites being both Sunningdales, Woodhall Spa, Western Gailes, Old Head and Turnberry. He has been obsessed with the sport since the age of 8 and currently plays off of a six handicap. His golfing highlights are making albatross on the 9th hole on the Hotchkin Course at Woodhall Spa, shooting an under-par round, playing in the Aramco Team Series on the Ladies European Tour and making his one and only hole-in-one at the age of 15 - a long time ago now!
