Talley was a three-time Kentucky state champion at Caldwell County High School. It would have been four state championships, if not for an unfortunate scorecard error that she self-reported after realizing the mistake, which led to her disqualification. However, the incident earned her national acclaim for her integrity and character.
Talley won the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship in 2013 and then claimed the 2015 NCAA Championship while at the University of Alabama.
During her college career, Talley was also low amateur at the 2014 Womens' British Open.
After turning pro, she joined the LPGA tour in 2018 with over $1.4 million in career earnings.
After her pro career, she worked as a broadcaster with ESPN+ Golf. She joined the Western Kentucky University women’s golf coaching staff in 2024.
Her charitable work includes partnering with Golf Fore Africa, helping raise funds for clean water initiatives in underserved communities.
Others in the 2025 Class are Keith Ohr, Josh Teater and Andy Roberts. Details about the date of the induction ceremony are yet to be announced.
