The 2025 PLAYERS Championship has had a very interesting first day. Rory McIlroy is proving himself as a big game player, while Scottie Scheffler is also firmly in the mix with a good showing as he aims to win his third PLAYERS title in a row. The leaderboard has three players sharing the lead, JJ Spaun, Camilo Villegas and Lucas Glover.
Lucas Glover will be looking to convert this into a victory, as he has been winless since his 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship victory over Patrick Cantlay. Cheering him on, would be his support system, consisting of his lovely wife, Krista Glover and their children. Glover married Krista in 2012 and has mostly kept the pre-marriage details of the duo heavily private. But Krista and their children have been frequently seen supporting their dad on the course. Let’s get to know them better.
Glover has two kids. The eldest child is Lucille Glover. Lucille was born in 2013, just a year after his marriage. Two years later, Lucas Glover and his wife Krista were blessed with a baby boy, who was named Lucas Jr.. The bond the family shares is amazing and ‘aww’-inducing. In fact, Glover’s first Instagram post was that of a very small Lucille, painting at her leisurely pace.
The two kids are a huge part of the PGA Pro’s social media feed, and he documents all the fun moments of the kids’ lives. Both Lucille and Lucas Jr are very active beach lovers and love spending time by the sea. Lucille has been on the golf course a lot of times, and she seems to have developed a good affection for her dad’s profession. She has her own set of clubs, and has been seen practicing her swing at times on the course.
Lucille, who is a huge Taylor Swift fan, attended one of the singer’s concerts with her dad, a moment she would cherish. Both Lucille and Lucas Jr are frequent spectators at Glover’s games. Their most famous moment came at the Wyndham Championship, where the duo were showcased with their dad on the broadcast. Their presence seems to be a good luck charm for the 6-time PGA Tour winner who seemingly enjoys every moment he spends with his family. His wife has also been an ardent supporter of him, from the sideline.
Lucas Glover’s supportive wife
While the exact details of how the duo met are unknown in public circles, it is known that the couple tied the knot in 2012. Krista, who was born in Greenville, North Carolina, has been a rock beside her husband, being extremely supportive of his golfing career. In fact, her passion has related to outbursts regarding Glover’s performances.
In fact, on one such occasion, the couple had a public fallout. That was due to the American golfer’s poor performances at the 2018 PLAYERS Championship, where he missed the 54-hole cut with a score of one over par. However, the duo has stayed together stronger than ever, and since the fallout, Glover won two more PGA Tour events, taking his total tally to six.
Such a supportive family is a strong boon to any sports professional. Both Krista and the two children have been a great motivating presence for Glover, and he also seemingly thrives on their push to achieve better. Here’s to the Glover family!!
