Justin Rose may be a few holes away from winning the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach, but he’s been winning at life for many years. Apart from his Major win and many accomplishments in the sport, the golfer is a loving husband to Kate Philips. As the golfer prepares to bag home $1.62 million from the ongoing event, let’s take a look at who is Mrs. Rose, with whom the golfer has been in love for more than two decades.

Making his debut in 1998, Justin Rose struggled to climb to the pinnacle of the sport in the initial years. He recently garnered a total of $60 million in earnings on the PGA Tour. However, the early 2010s looked promising for him, as he claimed many top 5 finishes in the Majors before finally winning the 2013 US Open.

However, seven years before his maiden Major Rose married the love of his life, Katie Philips. With the woman being the lucky ingredient to his successful career, let’s find out who Philips is, after all.

They immediately became the most recognized couple on the Tour. Philips even owns a racehorse gifted by her husband.
