Stephenson was born on 22 December 1951 in Sydney.

Stephenson turned professional in 1973 and won the Wills Australian Ladies Open that year.

1974

She became a member of the LPGA Tour in 1974 and won three major championships and 16 LPGA Tour events.

She has 41 worldwide victories including (10) LPGA Legends Tour wins and 8 worldwide major championships.

She has 15 holes-in-one with (9) in competition.

She joined the LPGA Tour in 1974 and was named LPGA Rookie of the Year.

1976

Stephenson's first LPGA victory was the 1976 Sarah Coventry Naples Classic.

1980

Her most productive period was the early 1980s, when she won all of her majors in consecutive years: 1981 Peter Jackson Classic, the 1982 LPGA Championship and the 1983 U.S. Women's Open.

Stephenson was one of the first LPGA stars to openly embrace and champion a sex-sells approach to marketing.

Stephenson became as famous for her sex appeal as her golf during the early to mid-1980s, when she posed in a bathtub – covered up only by the golf balls filling the tub – and later in a pinup calendar.

She urged the LPGA Tour to fully embrace her approach to marketing.

1981

On the golf course, Stephenson won three times each in 1981, 1983 and 1987, those wins in 1987 being her final ones on the LPGA.

1985

Stephenson was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 1985.

1990

Stephenson continued playing LPGA events throughout the 1990s, but was hampered by an injury incurred during a mugging in Miami in 1990.

Her left ring finger was broken in two places, an injury that still bothers her play in cold or wet weather.

Stephenson went on to win on the Women's Senior Golf Tour, a tour she helped found.

2003

In 2003, she became the first woman to play on the Champions Tour at the Turtle Bay Championship, where she finished in last place.

Stephenson is among the few women in the course design business, and produced an exercise video for people with arthritis.

Her many charitable efforts include being an honorary chairman of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Stephenson made a controversial remark in 2003 when she said "Asians are killing the (LPGA) Tour", referring to the large number of Korean-born players who were winning on tour, and calling for quotas on international players – although she was also an international player she believed that the LPGA should focus on American players.

She later apologised, saying that she "did not intend to make it a racial issue."
