Luke and Diane got married in Greece.
Who is Luke Donald’s wife Diane Antonopoulos?
Diana was born October 2, 1982 to Elizabeth Antonopoulos.
Her family is originally from Greece with her mother moving over to the United States at the age of 15.
The move meant her mother graduated from high school and earned a master’s degree before she pursued a 40-year career as an architect and project manager.
Her father passed away in 1994 which meant Diana and her sister Christina were raised solely by Elizabeth.
Diana frequently posts to Instagram where she has over 10,000 followers which is dedicated to posts about food and charity projects.
Her husband Luke was born in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, England and has a brother Christian.
Luke attended Rudolf Steiner School in Kings Langley and the Royal Grammar School in High Wycombe.
He played junior golf at Hazlemere and Beaconsfield Golf Clubs where he was the club champion twice.
How did Luke Donald meet Diane?
Diane and Luke met whilst they were studying at Northwestern University in Illinois.
Luke studied art whilst Dianne studied psychology.
Luke began studying in 1997 on a golf scholarship and caught the eye on the golf course due to his performances.
It was during this time Luke triumphed at the 1999 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship where he shot 284 to break Tiger Woods‘ 1996 championship record.
Two years later after graduating, the two began dating and got engaged in June 2006.
They got married June 24, 2007 in Santorini, Greece.
Do Luke Donald and Diana Antonopoulos have any children?
In 2010, Luke and Diana welcomed their oldest daughter, Elle, in February.
They became parents again in 2011 and 2014 to Sophia and Georgina.
Diana’s pregnancy with Georgina was difficult as she was born prematurely.
The family lives in Illinois and Florida.
It was during this time that Luke became world number in 2011 but later lost his number one ranking to Rory Mcllroy.
Luke also suffered a number of injuries and poor form once he’d reached the top spot.
He continues to make appearances on the DP World Tour and is 2023 Ryder Cup captain.
Luke was also awarded an MBE in 2012 for his services to golf.
He’s had eight top-10 finishes in major championships including two third-place finishes.
Luke is also one of two golfers, alongside Lee Westwood, to achieve the world number-one ranking without winning a major.
