PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE
Inspired by the creative initiative and determination of the 13 Founders in 1950, the LPGA continues to “Act Like A Founder” each and every day. LPGA players and staff embody the spirit of the Founders and encourage others to live with the same Passion, Pride, and Perseverance.
The LPGA is the longest running women’s sports organization in the world. With such a title comes great responsibility. The words “Act like a Founder” greet all that enter the headquarters of the LPGA. The aged script and simple message convey the history and pride of all who have come before, and the amazing road ahead.
The Founders Cup embodies all that our motto stands for. Our job is to grow the game of golf and to leave the game better than we found it.
