The women of the LPGA Tour
seem to get younger every year
and are visible nearly every
week on our television screens.
What happens to the ladies as
they mature, but still want to
compete with the best women
golfers in the world? Well, just
like their male counterparts on
the Champions Tour, they tee it
up on the Legends Tour.
Every year the LPGA Legends
Tour, for lady golfers over
the age of 45, visits French
Lick Resort for the Legends
Championship. Familiar
names like, Juli Inkster, Jan
Stephenson, Amy Alcott,
Laura Baugh, Pat Bradley,
Beth Daniel, Nancy Lopez
and Michelle McGann prowl
the rolling fairways of the
Pete Dye course.
The LegendsTour is the official
senior tour of the LPGA, was
founded in 2000 and hosted
seven events in 2016. It has
more than 120 members,
including 14 LPGA andWorld
Golf Hall of Fame players.
Legends Tour players have
over 750 combined LPGA
Tour victories, including
86 major championships.
Keeping with the LPGA
tradition of providing funds
for charity, the tour has helped
raise more than $19 million
for charitable donations.
