Professional career
Pettersen went professional in September 2000 at the age 19 and gained her Ladies European Tour card with an 11th-place finish at the 2001 LET Qualifying School. She appeared in ten events in her rookie season in 2001 and had no regrets. Pettersen earned the Open de France Dames in a playoff over Becky Morgan in her second attempt as a professional. She came in second on the Order of Merit and was named LET Rookie of the Year.
Pettersen began in 2002 with a playoff defeat to Karrie Webb in the AAMI Australian Women's Open, and two more top-ten finishes culminated in her winning a spot on the European team for the 2002 Solheim Cup. Pettersen was five down with five to play and ended up with a tie against Michele Redman in the singles. She earned exemption status for the 2003 LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament for the 10th time.
Pettersen appeared in five events on the LET in 2003, missing no cuts and finishing runner-up to Sophie Gustafson at the HP Open. She had a complete rookie season on the LPGA, with her best finish coming in third place at the Chick-fil-A Charity Championship.

Pettersen was ranked No. 9 at the Evian Masters in 2004. On the LPGA, she began her season late after recovering from elbow surgery. At the State Farm Classic, Pettersen earned four top-ten finishes, one of which was a season-best finish for fifth.
Pettersen participated in only three events on the LET and nine LPGA last year due to a debilitating back injury. When she returned, she achieved her best LPGA finish at the John Q. Hammons Hotel Classic, placing second at the Ladies Finnish Masters. Pettersen played on the European Solheim Cup Team as a captain's pick on the European Solheim Cup Team, and he captained the International team at the inaugural Lexus Cup.
Pettersen played five times on the LET in 2006, including a third place at the Scandinavian TPC. She had three top ten finishes on the LPGA Tour, with a season-best finish fifth at the Florida's Natural Charity Championship.
Pettersen was selected to represent Norway at the Women's World Cup of Golf in 2007, but he had to cancel due to sickness before the tournament began. Lorena Ochoa took second place at the Safeway International on the LPGA Tour, her second-best finish on the LPGA Tour. She finished second in a major after a late failure at the Kraft Nabisco. Pettersen defeated Jee Young Lee in a playoff at the 2007 Michelob ULTRA Open at Kingsmill for the first Norwegian LPGA champion. Pettersen won her second major championship of 2007, the LPGA Championship, by a single stroke over Karrie Webb, which pushed her to fourth place in the Women's World Golf Rankings. She won the SAS Masters in Norway on the Ladies European Tour. Pettersen won her third LPGA victory in October, defeating Lorena Ochoa in a playoff and then claimed victories number four and five in Korea and Thailand. She ranked second in the Women's World Golf Rankings on December 31, 2007, surpassing Karrie Webb and Annika Sörenstam, trailing only Lorena Ochoa.
Pettersen signed a multi-year deal with Nike Golf to represent Nike in clubs, balls, footwear, glove, and bag in January 2008. At the rain-shortened Deutsche Bank Ladies Swiss Open, she won her first match of 2008.
Pettersen claimed her sixth LPGA Tour event and first in two years at Priddis Greens Golf & Country Club in Calgary, Alberta, in September 2009. By five strokes over Karrie Webb, Mumoko Ueda, Morgan Pressel, Ai Miyazato, and Angela Stanford, Pettersen took the event by five strokes over Angela Stanford.
On the LPGA Tour in 2010, Pettersen ran runner-up six times but never won a single one.
When she captured the Sybase Match Play Championship at Hamilton Farm Golf Club in New Jersey in May, Pettersen ended her 20-month victory drought. She won all six of her 18-hole tournaments over four days, as well as the quarter-finals and Cristie Kerr in the finals, despite being under cool, rainy weather. Pettersen won the Ladies Irish Open on the LET in early August, 198 (-18), six shots ahead of the field. It was Pettersen's first victory on the LET in 3 years, her last appearance in 2008 was at Portmarnock Links. Pettersen won again on the LPGA Tour in Oregon two weeks later in her second week. She came from nine shots behind at the start of the final round and shot a 64 (-7) to force a playoff against second round leader Na Yeon Choi. Pettersen shot a par on the first extra hole with a par after Choi put her approach shot in the water to double bogey. The triumph raised her world ranking to No. 1 in the world. Yani Tseng, the 2nd, 2nd, ahead of Cristie Kerr and behind only Yani Tseng.
Both in Asia, Pettersen claimed twice on the LPGA Tour in October.
Pettersen won the Mission Hills World Ladies Championship in March 2013. She won the LPGA Lotte Championship in April. She won the Safeway Classic in September and then the Evian Championship in October. Pettersen captured the Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship in October, her fourth appearance of the LPGA Tour season.
In the second day of three-ball matches against Alison Lee and Brittany Lincicome, the United States, Pettersen is embroiled in controversies at the 2015 Solheim Cup match in St. Leon-Rot, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Lee missed a putt to win the hole on the 17th green, with the match all square. Lee picked up her ball after being told that the next 18-inch putt had been forfeited. Pettersen said that it was not conceded and that the Europeans gained the hole, and that the Europeans prevailed. Carin Koch and vice captain Annika Sörenstam tried to persuade Pettersen to change their mind and give her putt, but the players were unable to reach an agreement or change the order of events afterward, but it was not a possibility under the rules of golf. Pettersen/Hull eventually won the game, and Europe took the lead going into singles. However, the Solheim Cup was largely won by the United States after a good showing in the singles on the last day of the tournament.
Pettersen qualified for the team by her Women's World Golf Rankings in August, but she suffered with a back injury during her 9th appearance, but she missed out due to a back injury. Catriona Matthew had been previously named as an assistant captain by Annika Sörenstam, but the team's captain had to be recalled by Pettersen and nominated Matthew as a character instead.
Catriona Matthew, the captain of the Solheim Cup European team, had been suspended for almost two years on maternity leave, but Pettersen was chosen for the 2019 Solheim Cup European team. Pettersen had only attended two shows before Matthew selected her, and she missed out on both of them. Pettersen was ranked 620th in the world at the time. Pettersen holed her birdie putt on the 18th in her singles match at Gleneagles, winning the Solheim Cup for Europe on September 15, 2019 - a wise move.
The 38-year-old Pettersen said she would no longer play competitive golf immediately after making the putt. "I think this is a good close," Pettersen said. "A lovely 'the end' for [my] professional life. "It's not get any better." Pettersen retired after winning 15 times on the LPGA Tour, including two majors: the 2007 Women's PGA Championship and the 2013 Evian Championship. "Life has changed so much for me in the last year," Pettersen said. "He's [son Herman] Obviously the best thing that's ever happened to me." Now that I know how to win as a parent, I have figured out what it looks like. "I'm going to leave it like this."
Pettersen was elected the 2023 European Solheim Cup captain on November 29, 2021.
