Who Are The Oldest LPGA Major Winners?

Catriona Matthew, Juli Inkster, Angela Stanford, Sherri Steinhauer.

In golf, experience and composure are often the ultimate advantage, and some LPGA players have proven that age is no barrier to success. While rising stars often make headlines, such as Yuka Saso, who is one of the youngest LPGA Major winners, seasoned veterans have stepped up to claim Major titles, defying expectations. So, who are the oldest players to ever win an LPGA Major?

Uruguay’s Fay Crocker holds the record as the oldest Major winner, capturing the Titleholders Championship in 1960 at 45 years, 7 months, and 10 days. The Titleholders Championship originated long before the LPGA existed but is now officially recognised as a Major. Crocker was also the first US Women’s Open champion from outside the United States, securing the title in 1955.
