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]

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]
