USGA Executive Committee

Brenda Corrie Kuehn, of Asheville, North Carolina, is in her first year on the USGA Executive Committee.

Born in Santiago, Dominican Republic, to a Dominican mother, Carmen Leon, and an American father, Jack Corrie, she grew up on the Caribbean island until 1991. In 1983, she enrolled at Wake Forest University to play for the school's women's golf team, where she earned a business degree (1986), and was a captain and three-year letterman for the Demon Deacons. While playing at Wake Forest, she claimed six individual titles (fourth-most in program history), was a three-time All-American, and captured the 1986 Atlantic Coast Conference individual title while also leading the Demon Deacons to the team crown. She has been enshrined in the Wake Forest Sports Hall of Fame, the NCAA Golf Coaches Hall of Fame, the Dominican Golf Hall of Fame and the Dominican Sports Hall of Fame, where she joins her father as the only two golfers in the 65-year history of the institution. Jack Corrie was also a standout golfer who competed for Venezuela in the inaugural World Amateur Team Championship in 1958 on the Old Course at St. Andrews.

As a competitor, she has competed in 60 USGA championships, including nine U.S. Women's Opens, 15 U.S. Women's Amateurs, 18 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateurs, two U.S. Senior Women's Opens and five U.S. Senior Women's Amateurs. She competed in the 2001 U.S. Women's Open at Pine Needles while eight months pregnant with Rachel. Twice, Corrie Kuehn has been named the Carolinas Golf Association's Women Golfer of the Year, and she has captured two Women's Carolinas Amateurs and two North Carolina Senior Women's Amateur titles. Corrie Kuehn still competes on a regional and national level, having reached the final of the 2023 U.S. Senior Women's Amateur at Troon Country Club, in Scottsdale, Ariz. She also was the runner-up in the 1995 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur to 2026 USGA Bob Jones Award recipient Ellen Port. 

In 2026, Corrie Kuehn will serve on the Championship, Amateur Status and Investment committees.
