Palm Harbor, FL— February 13, 2023 - Jan Stephenson’s Crossroads Foundation, a 501(c)3 charitable organization announced today that LPGA Legends Hall of Fame and World Golf Hall of Fame Member Jan Stephenson has been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. She will begin a regimen of chemo/radiation therapy in next week.

"It’s impossible to overstate what Jan has meant to golf not only in Australia, but around the world, with all the effort she has put into developing young golfers through her charitable foundations" said Michael Vandiver, Executive Vice President of Jan Stephenson’s Crossroads Foundation.

Stephenson has won many accolades including some of golf’s highest honors in her long career. But being the recipient of an Order of Australia Medal is “probably the most important thing to her."

"It means so much to me for all my friends and family to lend so much support," said Stephenson, Order of Australia Medal recipient, and winner of 41 Worldwide Titles, “I have had some negative challenges in my career and managed to survive. This is just another tough hole that is “Uphill and Against the Wind. See you on my next downhill and downwind hole!”

Stephenson is a three-time Legends Tour champion who has 41 professional wins to her credit, including 16 on the LPGA Tour with three major championship titles - the U.S. Women’s Open, LPGA Championship and Peter Jackson (Canadian Women’s Open).

Stephenson has been Ambassador for ISPS Handa for more than 20 years. “I am looking forward to another 20 years
