Collin Morikawa’s wife, Katherine, was a college golfer at Pepperdine
Like Collin, Katherine is also an accomplished golfer. Prior to her recent interest in running, Katherine was a collegiate golfer at Pepperdine University. The couple used to share the course when they were dating.
“It’s very competitive,” Katherine told the PGA Tour during a video interview the couple did when they were dating.
Collin co-signed the idea that the two like to compete with each other. It seems to have paid off, as Collin has become a regular contender at major tournaments in 2024.
“Always always. We’ll never let each other beat,” Collin said at the time. “I think she beats me in probably 70 percent of our chipping competitions.
“…That always makes me a better player, and I think the good thing about it is that we are always competing. I think the PGA Tour is that amazing. Having her close to her when we are on free weeks and no one is around her. She can always contribute something to the course and we can always do something fun. Compete.”
