Mann, who towered over the game as a physical presence at 6 feet 3 inches tall, was dominant in her prime. She won 10 LPGA titles in 1968 and claimed the Vare Trophy for low scoring average. She won eight titles in 69. Her first LPGA title was a major championship, the 1964 Womens Western Open. She also won the U.S. Womens Open in 1965.As the LPGAs president from 1973 to 76, Mann oversaw the hiring of the tours first commissioner, Ray Volpe, a former NFL marketing executive. Mann and Volpe helped take the tour from a struggling business venture at the time to a more profitable one.It is always difficult to lose a member of your family, LPGA commissioner Mike Whan said in a statement. Carol Mann was a tremendous competitor, but an even more amazing person. She was special in every way, and she certainly left the game and the LPGA better than she found it. Our thoughts are with her family and friends.
Sending condolences, thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of @GolfHallofFame member Carol Mann. She accomplished so much in the game of golf, and her contribution will be felt for generations to come. So much to be proud of, so much to be remembered for.
