Kathy Whitworth, the winningest player in professional golf history with more titles than Tiger Woods, Sam Snead and Mickey Wright, died suddenly on Christmas Eve with family and friends. She was 83.
Whitworth wasn't exactly relieved by the news that her record will stand for quite some time. She didn't aim to set the standard for professional golf, nor did she covet the achievement.."Didn't know how many tournaments Sam had or Mickey had. I feel like Mickey would've won 100 if she hadn't quit."
At 80 years old Whitworth could recall with great detail everything from her first lesson with Harvey Penick to the amount of her first check . She credited her"winning syndrome" to a mindset learned through years of discipline, becoming an expert at focused concentration.The statuesque and dignified-looking Whitworth never had a hair out of place. The seventh member of the LPGA Hall of Fame was as modest as she was kind.
