Euphemie "Mimi" Rhodes was handed her first club at eight years old by her grandmother. Sixteen years later she is a Curtis Cup winner, an NCAA champion, a three-time winner on the Ladies European Tour and a rookie on the LPGA Tour.
The amateur years
Rhodes was born in Bath in December 2001 and learned the game in Somerset, later attending Millfield School.4 She represented Europe at the 2019 Junior Solheim Cup while still in her teens, and won repeatedly for England in the Home Internationals.
In 2020 she moved to the United States to play for Wake Forest University. The Demon Deacons won the 2023 NCAA Division I women's team championship with Rhodes in the line-up, and she was named an All-American in 2024 — the season she also took bronze with England at the European Ladies' Team Championship.4
Her amateur career closed at Sunningdale in the summer of 2024, where she was part of the Great Britain & Ireland side that won the Curtis Cup. She turned professional immediately afterwards.
Turning professional
The first professional win came quickly. In September 2024 Rhodes won the Lavaux Ladies Open on the LET Access Series in a playoff, securing her category for the following season on the Ladies European Tour.4
2025: three wins in ten weeks
Her rookie season on the LET was among the most productive in the tour's recent history. She won the Ford Women's NSW Open in March by two shots at 17 under par, a week that included a course-record 62. Two weeks later she won the Joburg Ladies Open by a stroke at 14 under, and in May she added the Dutch Ladies Open by two at nine under — three titles inside ten weeks.4
She contended again in the autumn, with a T4 at the PIF London Championship, a T8 in Houston and a T7 at the season-closing Andalucía Costa del Sol Open de España. Rhodes finished second on the 2025 LET Order of Merit and was named the tour's Rookie of the Year.4
Her major breakthrough came in the same year. At Royal Porthcawl she finished T19 at the AIG Women's Open at one under par — still her best result in a major — and holed out from the tee on the par-three fifth in the final round, her ball banking in off a playing partner's.5
2026: the LPGA Tour
Rhodes joined the LPGA Tour for the 2026 season and made an immediate impression, opening her debut at the HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore with a bogey-free 68 and finishing T10.3 A month later she went two better, closing at 18 under par for a T6 at the Ford Championship in Arizona — her best finish on tour to date.2
The middle of the season was harder, as rookie seasons tend to be: a run of missed cuts through the American summer, including at the U.S. Women's Open and the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. She steadied in July with a T36 at the AIG Women's Open at 5 over. Through the FM Championship at the end of August 2026 she has made 18 starts, with two top-ten finishes and $186,100 in official earnings.1
Rhodes is 24 and lives in Sotogrande, in southern Spain.
