Becky Brewerton - My Story: From Solheim Cup appearances and victories on the Ladies European Tour

For professional golfer Becky Brewerton, her achievements on the course across almost two decades appeared remarkable on the surface. A CV that boasted two Solheim Cup appearances, a Ladies European Tour Order of Merit and multiple tournament wins would be the envy of many professionals. Lying underneath was a confusing concoction of misery coupled with a constant battle with mental demons that only she could feel and hear.

Brewerton kept the seismic scale of these issues to herself before revealing them to the world in a blog post titled, “How did I become so bad at golf?” in November 2021. This summer, we spent a day with Brewerton to detail her story – one of initial pain but ultimately triumph – culminating in a documentary premiering on October 10 on Eurosport and Golf Digest, and soon to Discovery+. “Becky Brewerton — My Story” examines how a rising star in the game of golf had her world collapse around her and the fight to regain it.
