IONA STEPHEN

Iona is a former professional golfer and now TV broadcaster working with many of golf’s key networks including Sky Sports Golf and CBS.

Iona has been part of the broadcast team across several of golf’s major events including The Masters, The Open Championship, The Solheim Cup as well as hosting the prize presentation at the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome. 

After a long-term wrist injury curtailed Iona’s professional playing career, her insight, personality, and energy were quickly recognised by Golf’s major networks and this has led to an exciting broadcast career. Iona made history in 2021 when it was announced that she would become the first ever female on-course commentator in EA Sports gaming history with the release of their latest Golf game, Road to The Masters. 

Additionally to EA Sports, Iona’s other brand partners include Titleist, The R&A and Loch Lomond Whiskies.

Outside of golf, Iona has recently taken a seat with the prestigious radio channel Classic FM presenting a Friday evening show. Iona is an ambassador for the charity BIG CHANGE, supporting young people throughout the UK to thrive in life, not just exams.

Iona studied History of Art at The University of St. Andrews, Scotland before turning to professional golf.
