From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1967 LPGA Tour was the 18th season since the LPGA Tour officially began in 1950. The season ran from March 16 to November 19. The season consisted of 28 official money events. Kathy Whitworth won the most tournaments, eight. She also led the money list with earnings of $32,937.
There were two first-time winners in 1967: Catherine Lacoste from France and Margie Masters from Australia. They were the first winners from the continents of Europe and Australia, respectively. This season also saw the last playing of the Women's Western Open, an LPGA major.
The tournament results and award winners are listed below.
