What did earning your GSGA Player of the Year honor mean to you?
GALLAGHER: "Winning this award for the third-straight year means a great deal to me. I set goals for myself each year and this award is the realization of many small goals I set throughout the year. It also reminds me how thankful I am to have the opportunity to compete, and for the support my family gives me. I wouldn't be able to do this without them."

What was your favorite golf memory from 2025? And why?
G: "This year was special because I had two very memorable events. My son caddied for me at the U.S. Women's Amateur, and it was an awesome week to share with him. Almost equal to that, one of my oldest friends and college roommate qualified for her first USGA event. I loved competing in that event this year alongside her and getting to watch her experience just how special USGA events are.  It's memories like this that make this game so special."

What are your early goals for 2026 you hope to accomplish?
G: "2026 will be another busy year. My goals include winning the GSGA events I will compete in, another USGA win is on the list and one I haven't achieved yet which is low am at the U.S. Senior Women's Open."
