Every LPGA Tour Rookie Of The Year Winner Since 1962

Looking down the LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year winners list is looking down a who's-who of women's golf, with 13 of the award winners going on to be inducted into the LPGA Hall of Fame.

The Rookie of the Year award, known as the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year named after the LPGA co-founder, is actually older than the LPGA Tour Player of the Year award by four years.

Since its inception in 1962, a number of huge names have been crowned as first-year standouts including the likes of Juli Inkster, Annika Sorenstam, Karrie Webb, Se Ri Pak and Lorena Ochoa.

Like the POY title, there's a set criteria for the award via a points distribution for finishes in tournaments so there can be no debate as to who the worthy winner. That's different to the PGA Tour Player of the Year and PGA Tour Rookie of the Year awards, which are voted for by the members.
