Kathy Whitworth

Kathy Whitworth was an American professional golfer who won 88 LPGA Tour tournaments, more than any other player on the tour.

LPGA Tour: The leading professional golf tour for women, founded in 1950. Whitworth spent most of her competitive career on this tour and holds its wins record.
LPGA Tour wins record: The career record for victories in official LPGA Tour events. Whitworth's 88 victories remain the tour's all-time record.
Mickey Wright: An American golfer who won 13 major championships and 82 LPGA Tour events. Wright was Whitworth's leading contemporary rival and is often compared with her.
Stroke play: A golf format in which the winner has the lowest total number of strokes over a set number of holes. Most LPGA Tour events Whitworth won were decided by this format.
U.S. Women's Open: An annual women's golf championship organized by the United States Golf Association. Whitworth won the championship in 1967, one of her six major titles.
LPGA Player of the Year: An annual award recognizing the LPGA Tour's top player. Whitworth won the award seven times, reflecting her dominance across multiple seasons.
Patty Berg: An American golfer, LPGA co-founder, and winner of 15 major championships. Berg helped build the tour on which Whitworth later set its victories record.
Match play: A golf format in which players compete to win individual holes rather than minimize total strokes. Unlike stroke play, match play makes each hole a separate contest.
LPGA Championship: A women's professional golf major established in 1955 and now called the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. Whitworth won this major twice, in 1967 and 1971.
LPGA money list: An annual ranking of LPGA Tour players by official prize money earned. Whitworth led the money list eight times, a record of sustained season-long success.
