Lucas Glover has had a tremendous career as a professional golfer with 6 PGA Tour titles. The 2009 U.S. Open Championship winner almost managed to get back-to-back PGA Tour wins in late 2024. The 45-year-old has been on a fine run despite failing to win a title. He has been performing extremely well and that has helped him maintain his position in the top 60 of the OWGR rankings.

It’s fair to say that Glover has achieved a lot since turning pro in 2001. And he is still fighting among the best players on the Tour to this day. While Glover’s trophy cabinet might not be as glorified as some others, he has still managed to remain extremely consistent for around 24 years. That is not an easy task by any means.

While no one can question Glover’s skills, his endurance and mental strength are something worth mentioning here. And those don’t come just by being a good player. Everyone needs a bit of external motivation to keep going. Throughout Glover’s career, there have been a few people who have always had his back and kept him going. One of them is his wife; Krista Glover (formerly Krista Wakefield).

Krista was born on August 10, 1981, in Greenville, North Carolina. There aren’t many reports of how the couple met. However, we do know that the two got married in 2012. Ever since then, Krista has been actively supporting her husband through all the ups and downs of his career. A good example of that is one that actually turned into a controversy. Apparently, Krista and Lucas Glover had a public fallout back in 2018. The reason behind the issues? Glover’s bad performance at TPC Sawgrass earlier that year. While the issues are long resolved, this shows that Krista is just as motivated about her husband’s career as the PGA Tour pro himself.

Another support channel for Lucas Glover is his on-course partner, Tommy Lamb. Lamb has been caddying for Glover since early 2022, and the pair have shared a few accomplishments. Lamb was beside him when Glover won two titles in the same year in 2023 for the first time in his career. In fact, he managed to win those titles in back-to-back weeks. The Greenville local had captured the Wyndham Championship and the FedEx St. Jude Championship that year. Glover also had 3 consecutive top-10 finishes the same year before he started winning. This just goes to show how big of an impact Tommy Lamb has had on Lucas Glover’s career.

But, apart from his partner and caddie, Glover’s biggest fans, supporters, and motivators are certainly his two children. His daughter, Lucille was born in 2013 and is 11 years old right now. Glover’s son Lucas Jr. was born in 2015 and is nearly 10 years old in 2025. Fans have seen them on the course a few times when Glover was playing a tournament. Both Lucille and Lucas Jr. were there when their father won the Wyndham Championship and the FedEx St. Jude Championship in 2023. Glover’s Instagram photos show his two children accompanying them on the course.

Just like any father, Lucas Glover also loves sharing pictures of his children on his social media. Both, Lucille and Lucas Jr. are often seen enjoying themselves on the beach, dancing around at their residence, and enjoying festivals together. The pictures also feature his wife; Krista Glover, who seems like a water baby herself. However, unlike their children, she prefers enjoying a drink while lounging on a chair. It does seem that the family also enjoys playing golf together. Glover’s followers on Instagram can see Lucille holding a club on a few occasions, while Lucas Jr. is sometimes too busy trying to dig a hole with one of his irons.

Tom Lamb doesn’t feature too often in Lucas Glover’s family pictures. But he has been a part of his posts a few times when his boss is on the course trying to win a tournament. The two can be seen posing together on a couple of occasions.
