Paula Creamer Female Golf Player

Paula Creamer (born August 5, 1986) is an American professional golfer on the U.S.-based LPGA Tour. As a professional, she has won 11 tournaments, including 9 LPGA Tour events. Creamer has been as high as number 2 in the Women's World Golf Rankings. She was the 2010 U.S. Open champion, and is undefeated in three years of singles play in the Solheim Cup.As an amateur, Creamer won numerous junior golf titles, including 11 American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) tournaments. Creamer joined the LPGA Tour in the 2005 season, and her victory in that year's Sybase Classic made her the LPGA's second-youngest event winner.

In 2000, Creamer moved to Bradenton, Florida to attend the IMG Golf Academy, where she graduated from the IMG-affiliated Pendleton School the week after her first LPGA victory. She relocated again in 2007, this time to Isleworth, a gated community in Windermere, Florida. As of 2009, she remains a resident of Isleworth, where PGA Tour golfer Tiger Woods is among her neighbors.

Due to her fondness for wearing pink, Creamer's friend Casey Wittenberg nicknamed her the "Pink Panther." The sobriquet followed her when she turned pro. In addition to her pink outfits, Creamer sports the color on several of her golf accessories, including her club grips and golf bag. Creamer also uses a Pink Panther club head cover, in a nod to her nickname. In some tournaments from 2006 to 2009, she used a pink golf ball during the last round of every tournament provided by Precept Golf, one of her sponsors.
