Louise Suggs, an LPGA founder and one of the greatest female golfers of all time with 61 wins and 11 majors, died Friday. She was 91.
The LPGA Tour said she died in Sarasota, Florida, of natural causes.
Suggs was perhaps the most influential player in LPGA history. Along with being one of the 13 founders in 1950, she served as LPGA president three times and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame and the LPGA Teach and Professional Hall of Fame.
"I feel like the LPGA lost a parent," Commissioner Mike Whan said.
