Karrie Webb is one of the most successful female golfers of all time. She is in the conversation of the greatest golfers ever produced by Australia where her name is floated alongside fellow Hall Of Famers, Greg Norman and five times Open champion Peter Thomson (1923-2018).

Fittingly for Karrie, she is following in the footsteps of the other greats by applying her knowledge of world golf towards architecture and golf courses design, announcing in 2018 the formation of the Perrett Webb Company. Teaming up with one of the industry’s greatest innovators, the ever-enigmatic Ross Perrett, the future looks exciting as these two spearhead a team that is well versed about golf, particularly in AustralAsia.

The sight of Karrie marching down the fairways and hoisting trophies is familiar to golf fans in Japan where Karrie played a lot of golf in her prime. She won the Nichriei World Ladies Cup back-to-back 2000/2001, during a 24-month span which included the US Women’s Open and Nabisco Championship. She also topped the money list, won player of the year and just about every other award they could bestow on her.

During the prime of her career, Karrie loved to travel to Asia and her homeland in Australia, spreading the love of the game and encouraging the next generation of female golfers, but she also has a passion for the food and cultures of Asia.
