The complete list of LPGA Hall of Fame members, which is surprisingly short

Lydia Ko was one point away from the LPGA Hall of Fame, but earned that final crucial point with a gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olmpics.

She is now the 35th player to qualify for the Hall, which was established in 1967.

Players already in the Hall of Fame of Women’s Golf (est. 1950) were automatically included. The inaugural class included Patty Berg, Betty Jameson, Louise Suggs and Babe Zaharias (all 1951), Betsy Rawls (1960) and Mickey Wright (1964).

While the LPGA Hall of Fame criteria has changed over the years, current players must have won or been awarded at least one of the following: LPGA major, Vare Trophy for lowest scoring average or Rolex Player of the Year.

They must also amass 27 points with:

  • one point for each LPGA official tournament win
  • two points for each LPGA major tournament win
  • one point for each Vare Trophy or Rolex Player of the Year honor earned
  • an Olympic gold medal is also worth one point as of last year

Prior to Ko, Inbee Park had been the most recent to earn 27 points. She was inducted in 2016.
