Some of the LPGA Tour’s most recognizable names have been taking the mound in recent MLB games to throw out ceremonial first pitches.
Thirteen-time LPGA Tour winner Stacy Lewis threw the first pitch on Wednesday, May 1, at the Seattle Mariners game against the Atlanta Braves. The U.S. Solheim Cup captain and KPMG ambassador took the mound to help promote the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, which is coming to Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Wash., in late June.

Tournament host Michelle Wie West and 2023 champion Rose Zhang both tested out their throwing skills on Friday at the Yankees game, reminding New York sports fans that the second edition of the Mizuho Americas Open will be held at Liberty National Golf Club from May 16 to 19. Yana Wilson, who won the AJGA portion of the event last year, was also in attendance.
