THE LPGA
Getting to know: The LPGA Tour
The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) is one of the longest-running women’s professional sports associations in the world. Founded in 1950, the organization has grown from its roots as a playing tour into a non-profit organization involved in every facet of golf. The LPGA Tour and the LPGA Teaching & Club Professionals (T&CP) comprise the backbone of what has become the premier women’s professional sports organization in the world today. The LPGA maintains a strong focus on charity through its tournaments, its grass roots junior and women’s programs, its affiliation with Susan G. Komen For The Cure and the formation of The LPGA Foundation. The LPGA is under the guidance of Commissioner Mike Whan and is headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida.
