Every LPGA Player Of The Year Winner Since 1966

The LPGA Tour is the top circuit in women's professional golf featuring the majority of the world's best female golfers.

The Player of the Year award, sponsored by Rolex, has been handed out since 1966, and the first woman to win the title - Kathy Whitworth - won it in four consecutive years and in seven of the first eight years.

But it isn't Whitworth who has won the title the most, as 72-time LPGA Tour winner Annika Sorenstam tops the list with a huge eight Player of the Year titles.

Sorenstam won the award eight times between 1995 and 2005 to sit on top of the pile with most POY titles.

Unlike the PGA Tour's Player of the Year honor, which is voted for by members, the LPGA has a points system so there can be no debate as to who the season's top performer was. Points are awarded for top-10 finishes throughout the season, with the five Majors offering double points.

The reigning LPGA Tour Rolex Player of the Year is Lilia Vu , with the American capturing two Majors during the 2023 season to win the title for the first time. World No.1 Nelly Korda is set to win the title in 2024, also for the first time.
