Award: Sportswoman of the Year
Location/Affiliation: Professional LPGA Golfer

We’re very familiar with her. Our Sportswoman of the Year has won five Sportswomen
of Colorado awards. As a 2-time high school champion at Jefferson Academy, as an
NCAA champion at Wake Forest, and as a professional. She’s a Sportswomen of Colorado Hall of Famer. She’s a golfer. And her name is Jennifer Kupcho!
2022 was a really big year for Jennifer. First, she got married. Then, her game caught
fire. Not only did she win her first LPGA tournament, it was the Chevron Championship…
one of the five Major championships in professional women's golf! From there, she went
on to win two more, which tied her for the most tour wins in 2022. Depending on which
worldwide ranking system you look at, Colorado’s Jennifer Kupcho is ranked either first
or second in the U.S.!
We sure know how to pick ‘em! We first honored Jennifer Kupcho when she was just a
junior in high school. Now, she’s our 2022 Sportswomen of Colorado Sportswoman of
the Year!
