Madelene Sagstrom

Madelene Sagstrom is a Swedish professional golfer who has played on the LPGA Tour since 2016, winning twice at that level and representing Europe at multiple Solheim Cups and Sweden at the Olympics. No reliable, independently verified public net worth figure exists for Sagstrom — widely circulated “net worth” estimates online are not well sourced — but her career LPGA prize-money earnings are a matter of public record and total several million dollars.

Early Life & Family

Madelene Sagstrom was born on November 13, 1992, in Enkoping, Sweden, around 50 miles west of Stockholm. She began playing golf at age nine at Enkoping Golf Club alongside her parents, Per and Lena Sagstrom; her father had played sports competitively himself and introduced her to the game. She has a younger brother, Jesper. At 15 she moved away from home to attend a boarding school elsewhere in Sweden so she could concentrate on developing her golf.

Rise to Fame

Sagstrom played college golf at Louisiana State University for the LSU Lady Tigers, where she was named Southeastern Conference Player of the Year in 2015. She turned professional in 2015 and quickly made her mark on the Symetra Tour (now the Epson Tour), becoming the first player in that tour’s history to earn more than $150,000 in a single season and winning the Symetra Tour Player of the Year award in 2016, which earned her a promotion to the LPGA Tour.

Career History

Sagstrom recorded her first LPGA Tour victory at the Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio in January 2020, closing with a course-record round of 62 to win by one stroke over Nasa Hataoka. Her best major championship finish came at the 2021 AIG Women’s Open, where she finished runner-up after a bogey on the final hole. In 2025 she won her second LPGA Tour title at the T-Mobile Match Play, defeating Lauren Coughlin in the championship match. Sagstrom has represented Europe on four Solheim Cup teams (2017, 2021, 2023 and 2024) and competed for Sweden at both the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

How They Built Their Wealth

The bulk of Sagstrom’s income comes from LPGA Tour prize money, which by the mid-2020s had grown to several million dollars in career earnings, making her one of the highest-earning golfers to come out of LSU. Her two LPGA Tour wins, including a $300,000 payday for her 2020 Boca Rio victory, form a significant part of that total. She has also held sponsorship and endorsement relationships with golf and apparel brands over the course of her career, though exact terms of those deals are not publicly disclosed.

Personal Life

Sagstrom met Jack Clarke, a professional caddie, at the 2018 UL International Crown, where he was caddying for fellow Swede Anna Nordqvist. The pair began dating soon after, and Clarke proposed on Sagstrom’s 30th birthday in November 2022. They married in the United Kingdom in September 2024.

With two LPGA Tour titles, multiple Solheim Cup and Olympic appearances, and career prize money in the millions, Madelene Sagstrom remains one of Sweden’s most successful active professional golfers.
