The Ladies Professional Golfers Association (LPGA) was formed in
1950, 34 years after the men's association. There were 13 founding
members, one of whom was Patty Berg (1918-2006). After a glittering
amateur career with 28 championships, Berg turned professional in
1940. Before the formation of the LPGA she made a living playing
occasional tourNaments and conducting thousands of teaching clinics
and exhibitions in America, Europe and Japan. She went on to have
one of the most successful careers in woman's golf and her 57 tour
Titles and 15 major pro championships remain a record. This first
biography of Berg traces her career from "teenage sensation" to
beloved and respected elder stateswoman of the game, chronicling
her role among the founding members who created the multi-million
dollar LPGA.
