Lauren Coughlin’s Caddie

Lauren Coughlin, an American pro golfer, was born on September 27, 1992. She turned professional in 2016 and began her professional career on the Symetra Tour (now the Epson Tour), where she won the 2018 PHC Classic. In the same year, she joined the LPGA Tour, but from then until 2020, she only made six cuts in 24 events. As of February 2025, she had three professional wins, including her win in 2018. Coughlin ultimately won on the LPGA Tour in 2024, winning the CPKC Women's Open followed by the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open.

From 2011 until 2016, Coughlin attended Virginia University and was named to the ACC and All-American teams. She was the 31st-ranked amateur in the world before turning pro in 2016. She won the Virginia Women's Amateur Championship in 2012 and defended it the following year. In 2009 and 2010, she also took home the Virginia State Golf Association Girls Championship.

Who is Lauren Coughlin’s caddie?

Lauren Coughlin’s caddie is John Pond, her husband, as per Golf Monthly.

Coughlin and Pond met at an American football Christmas party at the University of Virginia, where they shared a dorm. After the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals in 2016, Pond asked Coughlin to marry him, and thus they got married in 2018.

Pond, a former football player, quit his job as a fundraiser to be Coughlin's looper in April 2024. He had previously caddied for Coughlin in several events, including a 2023 US Women's Open qualifying.

At the Ford Championship, Coughlin finished in eighth place, just her fourth top-10 finish on the LPGA Tour, even though she missed the cut at the Seri Pak Championship. In the three-week time, Coughlin missed cuts but was able to show some potential, solidifying his position as Coughlin's full-time caddie.
