Sexiness: Paula Creamer's still on the young-looking side and hasn't yet blossomed into her full feminine maturity. As long as she stays away from the junk food and sticks to an exercise regimen, she could be a pretty hot item in years to come.

Success: Paula Creamer's accomplished a fair bit in the early stages of her golfing career. As an amateur, she has 19 national titles to her credit, including 11 American Junior Golf Association tournaments. She was a semi-finalist in the 2003 U.S. Women's Amateur Championship, and was named the 2003 American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) Player of the Year, as well as Golf Digest's and Golfweek's Junior of the Year.

As the top-ranked female amateur of 2003 and 2004, the same two publications selected Paula as their 2004 Amateur of the Year. She was also a member of the victorious U.S. Curtis Cup team, tied for 13th in the 2004 U.S. Women's Open, and came in second in the ShopRite LPGA Classic, a shot behind Cristie Kerr. She also won the 2004 LPGA Tour Qualifying School tournament, becoming the youngest player at that time to do so. In 2005, her rookie LPGA year, Creamer scored 10 top 10 finishes, including wins at the Sybase Classic and the Evian Masters. She also finished first at two Japan LPGA Tour events, the NEC Open and Masters GC Ladies Classic, earning the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year title and the Nancy Lopez Award along the way.

In 2007 Paula took home her third LPGA Tour win in February at the SBS Open in Turtle Bay and her fourth win at The Mitchell Company Tournament of Champions in November.

In addition to her many prizes and titles, the money's been good to Paula as well. She's signed endorsement deals with Adidas, ADT, Taylor Made, RBS, KRAFT and Sundog Eyewear. She earned nearly $1.5 million on the year as of November 2005, placing her right behind top-ranked Annika Sorenstam on the earnings list.

Paula Creamer Biography:

A California girl, Paula Creamer took up the sport at age 10 and quickly developed into a top player at the junior level. Like her peer Morgan Pressel, Creamer went on to win 11 American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) titles.

In fact, in 2003 Creamer was named AJGA Player of the Year. This followed by a year her membership on the U.S. Junior Solheim Cup team.

Creamer's first significant notice among the greater golf world - outside of junior golf - started coming in 2004 when she was 17. That year she tied for 13th at the U.S. Women's Open. And, playing on a sponsors exemption, Creamer placed second at the LPGA Tour's ShopRite Classic, just one stroke behind winner Cristie Kerr.

Creamer played 10 LPGA Tour tournaments as an amateur in 2003-04, and in five of them finished inside the Top 20.

Ready to move up to the professional ranks, Creamer entered the LPGA's Q-School at the end of 2004, and won it by five shots. She turned pro and joined the tour ... but not before both Golfweek and Golf Digest had selected her as the top amateur of 2004.

Creamer had a great LPGA rookie season in 2005, winning twice, posting 11 Top 10s and finishing second on the money list. The first win came at the Sybase Classic, four days before she graduated high school. Creamer was 18 years, 9 months, 17 days old at the time, making her the third-youngest winner in LPGA history.

And her second victory that year was at the high-dollar Evian Masters in France. Later, she also won on the Japan LPGA tour.

Despite having just one year to accumulate points, Creamer easily qualified for the U.S. Solheim Cup team. Then she led the team to victory, earning the most points for the Americans with a 3-1-1 record.

In 2006 Creamer posted even more top 10s (14), but it was a frustrating year for her in some ways. She failed to win a tournament and struggled for much of the year with a wrist injury.

But Creamer began 2007 by winning the SBS Open at Turtle Bay, and won a second time that year. In 2008, Creamer won four times, including the biggest win to date in her career, the Samsung World Championship. In so doing, she became the first American to win four times on the LPGA Tour since Juli Inkster in 1999.
