Kathy Whitworth ‘88’ Tournament Registers a Full Field of 132 Competitors
The field is complete -- 132 female professional golfers from around the world are headed to North Texas July 17-20 to compete in the Kathy Whitworth ‘88’ tournament. Hosted by the ANNIKA Women’s All Pro Tour, the event will allow these young women – among the best of the LPGA hopefuls—an opportunity to advance their careers and follow in Kathy Whitworth’s footsteps.
The number of golfers meets capacity, with both national and international contenders registered to play at the Trophy Club CC in Trophy Club, Texas. Competitors come from China, New Zealand, Scotland, the Philippines, Bangkok, Canada, Myanmar, Australia, India, Mexico and Sweden, as well as 30 of the 50 U.S. states.
Now in its sixth year, the tournament has been renamed Kathy Whitworth ‘88’ in honor of the champion’s 88 tournament wins, the most of any professional golfer-male or female -- in history. That’s six more than both Tiger Woods and Sam Snead. She was also LPGA Player of the Year seven times and was the first female player to win more than $1 million in prize money. Kathy’s accomplishments led her to a lifelong commitment to champion other young women working to make the leap to the LPGA.
There are many opportunities to participate in the Kathy Whitworth ‘88’.
A Pro-Am tournament will take place on July 16. Unlike other pro-am events, the professional player will ride along with the amateurs in the golf cart. Also, the ANNIKA WAPT has several needs for volunteers during the tournament week including starters, spotters, player hospitality, and scoring. Every role is designed to be fun and provides opportunities to interact with the pros.
In addition to volunteer hours that may be added to their high school resumes, all student participants will receive a certificate honoring their contribution.
