Which women golfers have won the most major championships in their careers? The list of golfers with the most LPGA majors appears below. A quick glance at those golfers with double-digit wins:

  • Patty Berg, 15 wins in majors
  • Mickey Wright, 13 major wins
  • Louise Suggs, 11 major wins
  • Annika Sorenstam, 10 major wins
  • Babe Zaharias, 10 major wins

Before getting to the full list, a word about women's golf majors. Currently there are five tournaments on the LPGA Tour recognized as women's majors: the ANA Inspiration, U.S. Women's Open, Women's PGA Championship, Women's British Open, and Evian Championship.

But in the past, there were other tournaments included among LPGA majors, while some of the five listed above were, in their pasts, not considered majors. In other words, the story of LPGA majors is a bit more complicated than that of men's majors. Today, the LPGA counts five tournaments as majors; in some past seasons there were four majors, or only three majors, or, in a handful of years, just two. For the full rundown of the changes over time, see our history of LPGA majors.

In the following chart, Nabisco Dinah Shore and Kraft Nabisco Championship are both former names of the current ANA Inspiration. And LPGA Championship is the former name of the Women's PGA Championship.

Also included in this chart are mentions of the Titleholders Championship, Women's Western Open and du Maurier Classic, the three former tournaments once classified as LPGA majors.

This list includes all golfers who've won more than two majors.

Note that of the five golfers who recorded double-digit wins in women's majors, four of them (Sorenstam is the exception) did so in the early years of the LPGA Tour. And in the cases of three of them — Berg, Suggs and Zaharias — some or most of their wins even pre-date the founding of the LPGA Tour.
