Carol Mann, a star of the Ladies Professional Golf Association in the 1960s and ’70s who won 38 tournaments, including two major titles, and later served as the organization’s president, died on Sunday at her home in The Woodlands, Tex., a suburb of Houston. She was 77.
Her brother Lou confirmed the death, of an unspecified cause.
Mann joined the L.P.G.A. Tour in 1961 and developed into one of its top players, along with Kathy Whitworth and Mickey Wright, the top winners in the history of women’s golf. At 6-foot-3 — she jokingly said she stood “5-foot-15” — she towered over her opponents.
