The player in professional golf to have the most play-off defeats is Kathy Whitworth.
A six-time Major winner, she won 88 LPGA tournaments between 1962 and 1985, and was runner up 93 times. Eight of her victories came via a play-off. But she was also defeated 20 times in a play-off. Her record in head-to-head play-offs stands at won 8, lost 14; but she lost all six of her three-way play-offs.
