The LPGA’s Hall of Fame is the toughest to gain entry into in all of mainstream sports.
Ochoa is still aglow with this fall’s news that she will be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame next year, but her eligibility for the LPGA Hall of Fame remains in limbo as she prepares to host her annual tour event in Mexico City this week.
Ochoa will be honored Tuesday evening by World Golf Hall of Fame executives in a news conference at the tournament.
Whether Ochoa will one day enjoy the same honor as an LPGA Hall of Fame inductee is in the hands of a new 10-member group charged with a massive review of the LPGA Hall of Fame’s criteria and procedures, including the 10-year membership requirement, which is all that’s keeping Ochoa out of the LPGA Hall of Fame.
