The LPGA:

The Ladies Professional Golf Association is the longest-running women's sports association in the world, having celebrated its 50th anniversary in the year 2000. The organization has grown from its roots as a playing tour into a non-profit organization involved in every facet of golf. The LPGA Tour and the LPGA Teaching & Club Professional (T&CP) Membership comprise the backbone of what has become the premier women's sports organization in the world today. The LPGA maintains a strong focus on charity through: its tournaments; its grassroots junior and women's programs; its affiliation with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation; and the formation of The LPGA Foundation. The LPGA is under the guidance of Commissioner Carolyn Bivens and is headquartered in Daytona Beach, FL.
