LPGA was founded in 1950. Beverly Hanson won the Eastern Open in her first tournament in 1951, although technically, Hanson won an LPGA event in 1950 as an amateur, the Women's Texas Open.
And -- technically speaking -- Hinako Shibuno won her first LPGA tournament in her first appearance in 2019 AIG Open, but she had been a professional player on the Japanese tour for quite some time.
Rose is truly unique...
