Jackie Gallagher-Smith (born December 11, 1967) is an American professional golfer who played on the LPGA Tour. Gallagher-Smith has won once on the LPGA Tour[1] in 1999.[2]

Gallagher-Smith's brother, Jim Gallagher Jr., has won on the PGA Tour, making them one of two brother/sister pairs (the other is Billy Kratzert and Cathy Gerring) to win on both tours.[3] Her brother, Jeff Gallagher, has won twice on the Nationwide Tour.

Personal life

In 2005, a former caddie, Gary Robinson filed a suit claiming that the golfer had used him as an "unwitting sperm donor" to get pregnant. Robinson started caddying for Gallagher-Smith in early 2004 and later they entered into a sexual relationship. Robinson claimed that she told him she and her husband had been unsuccessful in conceiving a child. In July, Robinson claimed that she told him she was pregnant, leading him to believe he was the father. He eventually dropped the lawsuit.[4]
