But can the former IMG employee push her husband to have the same outcome as his U.S. Open win in 2013 or his Olympic gold medal triumph in 2016?
Let’s find out more about their back story…
Who is Kate Rose?
Born on July 30, 1980, Kate Rose (born Phillips) is a former international gymnast who graduated from the University of Sussex.
When the athlete retired from the sport, she became an assistant at IMG which is where she met long-time partner Justin Rose.
The pair began dating in 2000 and after six years of being together, the coupled tied the knot which led them to obtaining residency in the Bahamas at the Albany Resort.
Kate became a mainstay at tournaments as Justin overcame a dismal start to his pro career and the golfing idol bought his wife a horse as a token of appreciation – especially as horse racing is a big interest of Justin’s.
Rose has gone on to secure 10 PGA Tour wins and 11 European Tour triumphs, as well as his US Open major win in 2013, with Kate regularly celebrating his victories with him out on the course.

What does the Kate and Justin Rose Foundation do?
The couple have set up the Kate and Justin Rose Foundation to help children in need.
It aims to give under-privileged kids advice on nutrition, education and experience.
Rose said: “This program is very close to our hearts because Kate and I know Blessings in a Backpack fills a crucial void for children who might otherwise go hungry. I can’t expect to play good golf if I’m not properly nourished so how can we expect kids to go a full weekend with out enough to eat and then be able to focus on learning the next school week.”

Rose is still eyeing a second major win following victory in the US Open in 2013
How many children do they have?
The pair have two children together.
Leo was born in 2009 before Lottie followed in 2012 and they occasionally make an appearance on either partner’s social media account.

You’ll find your game becomes more consistent as you strive for higher scores.
How can I improve golf scores?
These simple tips will make your golf game more enjoyable.
- Play less and practice more. Practice more to become better at your chosen skill. If you play too much, it can lead to bad habits.
- Feel good when you play. There will be times when you don’t feel like going out on the course. Do not force yourself to do something you don’t enjoy. Instead, find ways to make golf enjoyable again.
- Take breaks. Golfers like to take breaks during rounds to stretch, walk around, have lunch or just relax. Taking breaks can help your body relax and keep you focused throughout the round.
- Drink water! It is easy for people to lose track of the number of drinks they have had while out on the courses. You should drink enough water to avoid becoming dehydrated. Hydration is key to feeling energized and ready to go for the next round.
- Make sure you eat right. You will be able to do well on the course if you eat healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables and lean protein.
- Keep hydrated. Drinking lots of water is the best way to stay hydrated. Aim to drink at least eight glasses per day. This includes plain water and water made with beverages such as coffee.
- Get warm. Begin by warming up with a walk or jog for five minutes before you hit the first shot of a round. Next, work on being loose and flexible.
- Keep your head down. When you tee off, it’s important to keep your eyes straight ahead. You should not be looking at the ball, or where it lands. Instead, your eyes should be on the hole.
- You should always wear proper form when you’re dancing. Proper form may mean different things to different people. But, generally speaking, you want to avoid swinging through your target. You should instead aim to hit the ball in the middle of the club face.
- You should be focused on the process. There are many things that go into a successful swing of golf, but focusing on the process will allow you to develop the best technique. For example, if you have trouble keeping your hands still, then focus on relaxing your grip. If you have trouble maintaining balance, focus on your posture.

How To
Which golf clubs are best to keep in your bag?
The most important thing you should consider when choosing golf clubs is what type of golfer you are. A higher end model is best for you if you intend to play golf regularly. If you are only going out for a few times a week, you might consider buying a set mid-range clubs. It all depends on your budget and how often it is you intend to play.
It’s important to have high quality woods if you intend to hit many balls off the tee. These woods are extremely popular due to their accuracy and range. These types of clubs are typically made from stainless steel or titanium, making them extremely durable. You should ensure that the head of any wood club you purchase is the correct size. A smaller head gives you less forgiveness and a larger one will allow for more distance.
Also, a good putter will be a necessity. This will be something that you’ll use during practice sessions, tournaments, and other situations. These are the two main options. The blade style putter can be used, and the mallet style putter can also be used. The blade style putters are easier to master and allow you to feel the ball come towards you before hitting it. Mallet-style putters can be more difficult to master and are less forgiving.
There are many styles of irons that you can choose from. There are many types of iron sets today. Some people prefer to buy a full set of irons and others like to purchase just their fairway woods and hybrids. Before you make your final choice, try out several brands.
As far as wedges go, you’ll want a wedge that fits your swing. An example: If you’re left handed, an offset wedge will work best. But if it’s right handed, a straight through wedge would be better.
You will need to decide whether you are a pull or fade hitter before you can choose a driver. Drivers that are heavier than average are preferred by pull hitters. They have more power and torque behind their ball. Fade hitters generally prefer lighter drivers. They are more flexible and can produce more spin on a ball.
It is always good to have a variety clubs in your bag. You never know what you’ll need to add or change equipment. A large selection of clubs can ensure you have the right equipment for your needs.
