Mimi Rhodes is one of the world’s brightest young talents and she is gearing up for the biggest season of her career as she embarks on her maiden campaign on the LPGA Tour.
Rhodes had a breakout season in 2025, winning three times on the Ladies European Tour as she finished second in the Order of Merit, clinched Rookie of the Year and earned her LPGA Tour card via Q-School.
The Englishwoman returns to Sotogrande which is where she learned the game as a youngster and it will prove to be the ideal training base again as she gears up for the early legs of the LET season before making the jump Stateside.
“Coming back to Sotogrande at this moment in my career feels incredibly special. It doesn’t feel like the start of something new, but rather a continuation of the journey that began here,” explains the 24-year-old who was a teammate of Lauren Walsh at Wake Forest and a Curtis Cup star alongside Sara Byrne, Áine Donegan and Beth Coulter.
Rhodes is the touring professional at Sotogrande meaning she avails of the Alto Club and the golf academy which form part of the resort.
With excellent practice facilities with all of the latest technology and elite training with a strong emphasis on wellbeing, recovery and balance, Sotogrande provides an environment that supports sustained excellence at the highest level of the game.
Reflecting on her journey, Rhodes added: “Sotogrande has always felt like home to me. I grew up here, practicing, learning and developing as both a golfer and a person. To be able to come back now, and prepare here for the move to the LPGA Tour, is incredibly special. It’s an environment that gives me everything I need to perform, but also to reset and stay grounded.”
Rita Jordão, Director of Marketing at Sotogrande, commented: “We are deeply proud to see Mimi’s journey come full circle in Sotogrande. Her personal connection to the estate makes this relationship incredibly special to us. Mimi embodies the spirit and values of Sotogrande, and we are honoured to support her as she steps into an exciting new chapter on the international stage.”
