LPGA winner Gemma Dryburgh and partner Anne-Lise Bidou begin 2026 as new parents. Dryburgh and Bidou shared the happy news on Instagram. Bidou, a physiotherapist who travels on the LPGA, gave birth to a son, Léo.

"Welcome to the world wee Léo!" Scotland's Dryburgh wrote in her social post. "We couldn’t be more excited to become a family of 3. 2026 is going to be a very special one!"

Dryburgh, who is based in New Orleans, told Newsquest writer Nick Rodger that she planned to travel to the LPGA's spring Asian swing solo in 2026, and then will be joined by her family when the tour returns to the U.S.

“Tour life will be a bit different,” 32-year-old Dryburgh told Rodger. “Thankfully, there are daycare facilities at every tour venue so that will be helpful.

“A lot of girls travel with their kids, so I’ve been asking around for advice. They’ve given me lots of tips on what prams to bring and what to travel with; simple things but important things to know when it’s all new.

"It’ll all be about streamlining the process. There will probably be much less of my stuff, too.”

In 2022, Dryburgh became the fourth Scot to win on the LPGA when she triumphed at the Toto Japan Classic. The former Tulane standout was the first Scottish player to win on tour since Catriona Matthew at the 2011 Lorena Ochoa Invitational.
