Stacy Lewis – University of Arkansas Golf

Academic All-America Hall of Fame Class of 2024

Stacy Lewis is among the most accomplished golfers to play the University of Arkansas. Her career spanned from 2005-2008 and included three top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championships, including an individual title in 2007. She was named Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year in 2005 and SEC Golfer of the Year in 2008, while also earning medals at the SEC Championships both years.

All four years she competed for the Razorbacks, Lewis received All-SEC First Team and Duramed FUTURES Tour NGCA All-American honors. Lewis was also the first golfer to go 5-0 in the U.S. Curtis Cup played in 2008.

That same year, Lewis graduated with a bachelor's degree in business administration with double majors in accounting and finance. She was a two-time CSC Academic All-American (2007, 2008) and four-time SEC Academic honoree.

Upon graduation, Lewis joined the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour in 2009 and still competes on the tour today. During the last 15 years, Lewis has earned 13 victories including two majors — the Kraft Nabisco Championship in 2011 and the Women's British Open in 2013 — and racked up 117 top-ten finishes. She is eighth all-time on the LPGA tour career money list with earnings over $14.5 million.

Lewis has also been recognized for her efforts off the course. She was a back-to-back SEC Community Service Team selection (2007, 2008) and became the first former women's athlete to donate over $100,000 dollars to the Arkansas Razorback Foundation's Century City.

In 2017, Lewis made a promise to donate her winnings at the Cambia Portland Classic to the city of Houston to help with the recovery after Hurricane Harvey. She delivered on her promise, winning the event and donating the entire $195,000 check to relief efforts in Houston.

Stacy Lewis on her induction into the Academic All-America Hall of Fame: "I am honored to be elected to the Academic All-America Hall of Fame alongside these other deserving recipients. I’m incredibly grateful for my time at the University of Arkansas and still benefit greatly from the education I received there. As a firm believer in the value of education, this recognition is all the more meaningful to me."

Shauna Taylor, Arkansas Women's Golf Coach: "We are so proud of Stacy. She was not only a leader on the golf course, but she set the standard for excellence in academics and golf for our program here at the University of Arkansas. She works tirelessly to be the best at everything she does, and this is another recognition demonstrating her commitment to winning in all areas of school, golf and life."
