Natalie Anne Gulbis (b. January 7, 1983) is a
professional golfer. She played in her first LPGA
event as an amateur at the age of 14. She turned
professional at 18 after a brief stint on the
women's golf team of the University of Arizona.

Gulbis is considered to be the LPGA's sex symbol.
When she released her calendar for 2005, which
featured Gulbis in different pictures that showed
her playing golf, in addition to striking steamy
poses in swimwear, just before the 2004 U.S.
Women's Open Championship (golf)|U.S. Women's
Open, the USGA barred it from being sold at the
event, deeming it inappropriate, though the
calendar was sold very openly at golf Canada. The
USGA was criticized for overreacting. The calendar
has become one of the best-selling calendars in
the United States. Gulbis also posed for the
November 2004 issue of the magazine FHM, an issue
that also gave away a chance to play golf with her
at her home course in Las Vegas, the Lake Las
Vegas|Lake Las Vegas Resort, where her calendar
photo shoot took place. Gulbis has said that she
likes the attention she gets, even if it's for her
looks. She is said to be a friendly person.



Gulbis placed 97th on FHM-US's 100 Sexiest Women
2005. She had a high-profile relationship with
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben
Roethlisberger, but that has since ended. In July
2005, a new reality television show of which
Gulbis will be the star, Natalie (TV
show)|Natalie, was supposed to debut on The Golf
Channel, but production issues have pushed the
premiere back to November.
