Neither Sam Snead, Tiger Woods, Mickey Wright nor Annika Sorenstam have touched golfer Kathy Whitworth's glittering number of victories.
Golfer Kathy Whitworth, who clocked up more wins than any other player on a single professional tour, male or female, has died aged 83., nor Mickey Wright and Annika Sorenstam, who are considered two of the greatest female golfers in history.
Bettye Odle did not divulge the cause of her partner's death, but said that Whitworth died suddenly on Saturday night while celebrating with family and friends. During her career, which spanned nearly a quarter of a century, she won six majors and smashed Mickey Wright's record of 82 career wins when she captured the Lady Michelob in the summer of 1982."Winning never got old," Whitworth once said.Snead achieved a record 82 wins on the PGA Tour, a total Woods has since matched.
