2 A LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER

What is the LPGA? Great Athletes ✓ Global Interest ✓ Social Impact ✓ Growth and Expansion ✓ Bigger than just golf – you bet!

The LPGA is the sports property that checks all the boxes that many other leagues are trying to tackle.

2019 was another milestone year in the LPGA’s history and global expansion. Tournament growth over the last 10 years is up more than 50 %, prize money is up over 90% and TV growth is up more than 250%.

Our athletes come from over 50 countries to compete on one of the LPGA Tours. We formed a Joint Venture with the Ladies European Tour to strengthen playing opportunities in . LPGA is televised in over 170 countries around the world each week. And women’s golf is now an Olympic sport.

Our players, business partners and fans understand that the LPGA is about so much more than golf. Our athletes are role models, leaders and influencers. And, they convene and inspire people well beyond sports. In fact, two out of every three LPGA Tour event in 2019 featured a Women’s Leadership program to engage and connect women leaders from different backgrounds and interests.

We are also working hard to bring more girls and women to the game. Ten year ago, less than 20 % of junior golfers were girls. Today, more than 35% of junior golf is female, paving the way for the most female golfers the world has seen.

Difference makers, message-senders, global influencers! As we enter the LPGA’s 70th year, we are more excited - and optimistic - about our potential to help increase opportunities for women – on and off the . For those already part of the LPGA family, thank you for challenging us to be better and reach higher. And to those not yet invested in the LPGA, let’s explore how we can work together to support your business objectives and diversity goals.
