Euphemie "Mimi" Rhodes (born 17 December 2001)[1] is an English professional golfer who plays on the LPGA Tour and Ladies European Tour. In 2025, she won the Ford Women's NSW Open, Joburg Ladies Open, and Dutch Ladies Open.[2]

Rhodes was born in Bath, Somerset, England, and raised in Sotogrande, Spain. She was introduced to golf aged eight by her grandmother, a single-figure handicap golfer. Her sister Patience is also a golfer who attends Arizona State University. They were educated at Millfield School.[3]

Amateur career

Rhodes was runner-up at the 2018 French International Ladies Amateur Championship (Trophee Cécile de Rothschild), which helped put her on the 2019 Junior Solheim Cup team.[4]

Rhodes attended Wake Forest University from 2020 to 2024. She helped Wake Forest win the 2023 NCAA Division I women's golf championship, and tied for 10th individually in 2024 to earn NCAA All-American honors.[5]

Alongside her sister, she won bronze at the 2024 European Ladies' Team Championship in Madrid and won the 2024 Curtis Cup at Sunningdale Golf Club.[3]

Professional career

Rhodes turned professional after the 2024 Curtis Cup and joined the LET Access Series, where she won the Lavaux Ladies Open in Switzerland after a playoff against her compatriot Billie-Jo Smith.[6]

She received an invitation for the 2024 Aramco Team Series – Riyadh on the Ladies European Tour, where she won the team event alongside Chiara Tamburlini and Anne-Charlotte Mora.[7]

Rhodes shared medalist honors at the 2024 LGPA Q-Series Qualifying Stage in Venice, Florida.[8][9]

She earned her card for the 2025 Ladies European Tour at Q-School where she tied for 19th.[10] Rhodes won her first LET tournament at the Ford Women's NSW Open in March 2025. It was her fourth appearance in a LET event and her tournament included a course record nine-under-par 62 in the second-round.[11] The following month, she claimed her second LET title at the Joburg Ladies Open. She secured a one-stroke victory and afterwards said "It's honestly a dream come true - and to be playing so well so early in my career, I'm lost for words. It's just amazing and I can't wait for the rest of the season."[12] In May, Rhodes won her third consecutive tournament at the Dutch Ladies Open, securing a two-stroke triumph.[13] In June 2025, Rhodes was given an invitation to make her major debut at the Women's PGA Championship at Fields Ranch East course in Texas.[14]

In the 2025 Women's British Open at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club, Rhodes hit a hole-in-one at the fifth hole during her fourth round. She finished the tournament tied for 19th.[15]

After leading the 2025 Ladies European Tour Order of Merit rankings for the main part of the season, Rhodes ultimately finished second to Shannon Tan, but still won the Rookie of the Year award.[16][17][18]

Rhodes secured her card for the 2026 LPGA Tour at Q-Series.[19]
