Former Wisconsin Badger wins celebrity division of LPGA golf tournament
Briefly

Joe Pavelski, an 18-year NHL veteran and Wisconsin hockey icon, has made an impressive transition into retirement by winning the celebrity division of the LPGA Tournament of Champions just seven months after retiring from professional hockey. Pavelski, who previously led Wisconsin to a 2006 NCAA title, showcased his competitive spirit by outlasting significant competitors like Jeff McNeil. With a history of success, including a remarkable NHL career with over 1,300 games and 1,068 points, he has successfully returned to the limelight, winning a title on the golf course instead of ice.
The 18-year NHL veteran hung up his skates last June after the 2024 season. This weekend, just seven months later, he won the celebrity division of the LPGA Tournament of Champions.
Pavelski is no stranger to success on the professional stage. He led Wisconsin hockey to the 2006 NCAA title as the team's leading point-scorer.
