Justin Rose has always been confident in his parents’ love for him, especially that of his father. After achieving his first major win at the 2013 U.S. Open, the English golfer couldn’t help but lift his trophy and dedicate his victory to his father, Ken Rose. Speaking about it at the Merion in 2013, Rose said, “I think my dad always believed that I was capable of this.” And, if everything goes well at Augusta National for the English golfer, he may have another chance to do it all over again. And he wouldn’t shy away from it, thanks to the immense love his parents have bestowed on him.

Justin Rose was born on July 20, 1980, to the couple Annie and Ken Rose. An amazing father to Justin Rose, Ken Rose was also an outstanding squash and tennis player, a competent golfer, and possessed a keen analytical mind for the golf swing. He was Justin Rose’s only teacher during the early years of his golfing life, both amateur and professional. As Justin Rose emerged as the youngest player in the Walker Cup and a standout at the 1998 Open, Ken was always by his side, often seen under a straw hat and exuding quiet confidence.

Even when Justin Rose struggled as a professional at just 18, failing to make the cut in 21 appearances, Ken Rose had his son’s back, caddying for him and keeping track of his statistics. However, in 2002, Ken Rose passed away from leukemia. When Ken Rose started his road to chemotherapy, he told his son, “You need to be the strong one now.” Despite his long battle with cancer, Ken Rose was by his son’s side until the very end. Ken Rose, who was coaching his son Justin on the practice range at the 2002 U.S. PGA Championship at Hazeltine, passed away at home on Monday night after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

An emotional Justin Rose made his first win at the 2002 Dunhill Championship, and said, My dad’s not so well and he is the guy I owe most to. He’s put a lot of time, a lot of hours into my game. This win is for him more than anybody.” Although we do not hear about Justin Rose’s mom as much, she is just as active in supporting her son whenever she can.

For instance, when Justin Rose won golf’s first gold medal on August 15, 2016, an emotional Annie Rose said, “That was so good and to see my son out there, he has worked so hard on his golf ever since he was little and to see him playing in an Olympics was enough as it was and then to actually top it off with the gold.” Annie Rose also added that she never thought she would have a gold medalist in the family. And after the win, Annie Rose shared champagne with her winning son. But there are a few more important family members that Justin Rose heartedly cares for.

Justin Rose’s family consists of a lovely wife and two children

Justin Rose first met his wife in 2000 when Kate Philips Rose worked at IMG, the first agency that represented Rose, and their relationship developed as she traveled to tournaments where he was competing. They married 6 years later, and are parents to two beautiful children.

Leo Rose, the older son of the Rose family, was born in February 2009 and turned 16 this year. While not many of his photos are publicly shared, he has his own Instagram account where he describes himself as an athlete. In 2021, Leo was a student at a golf academy run by Jon Hearn. Lottie Rose, the youngest child of the 2013 U.S. Open winner, was born in 2012. She enjoys being active and has a passion for horseback riding. Kate Rose often shares heartwarming photos of Lottie on her Instagram account.

And his family has been plenty active in supporting his game, especially his wife. Throughout Justin’s successful career, Kate has been a steadfast source of support, attending various high-profile events with him. They have been seen together at prestigious gatherings such as the Ryder Cup Gala Dinner and the Horan and Rose event, where Justin partnered with singer Niall Horan. Undoubtedly, even after the late Ken Rose, his son is still loved and looked after by his family.
