The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) was established in 1950. The LPGA is an organization that governs professional women's golf tournaments and promotes the sport of golf among women. It was founded by a group of 13 women, including golfers such as Babe Zaharias, Louise Suggs, and Patty Berg, with the goal of providing opportunities and recognition for female professional golfers. Since its inception, the LPGA has grown significantly and has become one of the premier women's professional sports organizations, hosting tournaments around the world and showcasing the talents of top female golfers.
