With Lydia Ko now only one point away from the LPGA Hall of Fame, here’s a look at the 34 players who have already earned their place.
The LPGA Hall of Fame was established in 1967, but players already in the Hall of Fame of Women’s Golf (est. 1950) were automatically included. The inaugural class included Patty Berg, Betty Jameson, Louise Suggs and Babe Zaharias (all 1951), Betsy Rawls (1960) and Mickey Wright (1964).
While the LPGA Hall of Fame criteria has changed over the years, current players must have won or been awarded at least one of the following: LPGA major, Vare Trophy for lowest scoring average or Rolex Player of the Year.
They must also amass 27 points with:
one point for each LPGA official tournament win
two points for each LPGA major tournament win
one point for each Vare Trophy or Rolex Player of the Year honor earned
an Olympic gold medal is also worth one point as of last year
Inbee Park was the most recent player to earn 27 points. She was inducted in 2016.
Here’s the complete list of LPGA Hall of Fame members:
