Ally Leigh Ewing (née McDonald; born October 25, 1992) is an American professional golfer and plays on the LPGA Tour.
McDonald was born in Tupelo, Mississippi and grew up in Fulton, Mississippi.[1] She played college golf at Mississippi State University where she won five events.[2] She also won the Mississippi State Amateur twice[3] and the North and South Women's Amateur. She played on the winning U.S. teams in the 2013 Spirit International Amateur Golf Championship and the 2014 Curtis Cup.
McDonald turned professional after graduating from college in 2015. She finished T-22 at the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament to earn a conditional LPGA Tour card for 2016.[4] She played primarily on the Symetra Tour in 2016, finishing runner-up four times and finishing second on the money list. She has played full-time on the LPGA Tour since 2017.
In 2019, she was named to the 2019 Solheim Cup team to replace an injured Stacy Lewis.[5]
In October 2020, McDonald won the LPGA Drive On Championship. This was her first LPGA victory. The tournament was a new event, created in 2020 due to the cancellation of Asian events as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
McDonald started using her married name, Ally Ewing, in late 2020.[7][8]
In May 2021, Ewing won the Bank of Hope LPGA Match-Play at Shadow Creek Golf Course in North Las Vegas, Nevada. She went 6–1–0 for the week and defeated Sophia Popov in the final match, 2 & 1.[9]
In September 2022, Ewing would make five birdies on the back nine en route to win the Kroger Queen City Championship.
