WWGA
Announces
2010 Women Of Distinction Honoree
Kathy Whitworth |
|
Kathy Whitworth is a legend like no others … some 50 years after
joining the LPGA, she remains the tour standard for victories. 88
LPGA victories are the most on a professional Tour – surpassing the
PGA Tour record of 82. Kathy won the 1967 Women’s Western Open;
she was also the Runner-up of the WWGA’s Open in 1963. She is one
of golf’s greatest!
“Kathy is not only one of the finest players in the history of the game,
but one of its greatest shot-makers. Over a 30-year period she won
tournaments that included great champions from Patty Berg and Louise
Suggs, to Mickey Wright and Betsy Rawls, to Nancy Lopez, Patty
Sheehan and Betsy King. Her longevity is a part of her great legacy
but it is Kathy’s respect for her fellow players and for the
traditions of this great game that make her worthy of every honor
that comes her way.”
Rhonda Glenn, USGA Manager of Communications
The WWGA congratulates Kathy on an outstanding career and is proud
to award her with the
WWGA’s 2010 Woman of Distinction Award.

A quote from one of our Past Champions
A champion
must have the will to win not just the wish to win....
You have to have an attitude that says,
"I know I can do it! And I'm GOING to do it"
