Justin Rose’s wife Kate Rose has become a regular at PGA Tour events. Kate also makes cameos with Justin in the second season of the hit Netflix show “Full Swing.”
The couple work together on a number of interests, including the Kate and Justin Rose Foundation dedicated to fighting childhood hunger. They also launched the Rose Ladies Open, a 54-hole event dedicated to women’s golf. Kate described the vision for the event when it launched in 2022.
“This is our first three day event, which is quite different for us. So it does feel like a step up not just in commitment and prize funds and organizationally behind the scenes but also in the level of players like Justin said,” Kate told Womenandgolf.com during a September 23, 2022, interview.
“This week we’ve had the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and that’s really exciting. Obviously, the Rose Ladies Series came about through COVID, so those events had to be really quite local. This feels very different, much more of an open international event.”

Better test scores, improved reading skills, positive behavior, improved health and increased attendance have all been attributed to the success of this program.”
