FORMER world No. 1 golfer Luke Donald is married to Diane Antonopoulos.
The Ryder Cup-winning captain, who’s back in the hot-seat for 2025, is rolling back the years and lighting up the leaderboard at this year’s US PGA Championship.

Who is Luke Donald’s wife Diane Antonopoulos?
Diane Antonopoulos was born October 2, 1982.
Her family is originally from Greece — her mum moved over to the United States at the age of 15.
Diane’s mother went on to graduate from high school and earn a master’s degree, before pursuing a 40-year career as an architect and project manager.
The golfer’s wife frequently shares on Instagram, where she has over 10,000 followers and mainly posts about food and charity projects.
Her husband Luke Donald was born in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, and has a brother named 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 club champion twice.
How did Luke Donald meet Diane?
Diane and Luke met while they were studying at Northwestern University in Illinois.
Diane studied psychology, while Luke studied art.
Luke began studying in 1997 on a golf scholarship and soon caught the eye on the golf course.
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 record at the event.
Two years later after graduating, the two began dating and got engaged in June 2006.
They tied the knot on June 24, 2007 in Santorini, Greece.
Do Luke Donald and Diane Antonopoulos have any children?
In February 2010, Luke and Diane welcomed their first child, daughter Elle.
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 currently lives in Illinois and Florida.
Luke became world No. 1 in May 2011, but lost the position to Rory Mcllroy in April of the following year.
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.
