Nancy Lopez Collection 

It didn't take long for Nancy Lopez to be crowned golf's 'It' girl after winning the 1972 US Girls' Junior tournament. The bright smile and infectious charisma would be seen over the next two decades all over the media, winning on the LPGA each year from 1978 until 1993 - with the lone exception of 1986 after having her second of three children and playing a limited schedule. A World Golf Hall of Famer in 1987, the 48-time LPGA champion notched three major championships at the Women's PGA (1978, 1985, and 1989). Sports Illustrated called and Lopez answered with the smiling, youthful golf sensation 1978 cover subject titled 'The Name of the Game.' “It got to the point where the sponsors didn't want to have a tournament unless Lopez played,” said seven-time LPGA leading money winner Kathy Whitworth in an interview.

The first LPGA Rookie of the Year in 1978, Lopez would win AP Female athlete of the year then and in 1985 and the LPGA Tour Player of the Year four times over. Lopez was the first to win a tournament while pregnant at the 1983 J&B Scotch Pro-Am Desert Inn Tournament channeling her grit, determination and unwavering competitive spirit. “I just want to win,” she told her father as a junior golfer. “I just want to win.” And that she did. With unlimited self-drive Nancy Lopez was the perfect ambassador of the game. Deserving recipient of the USGA's Bob Jones Award in 1998, Lopez long ago shifted her attention to helping others impacting the game as a top philanthropist and host of Nancy Lopez Hospice Golf Classic starting in 1986 and another in The Villages, FL to bring awareness to and benefit children and adults with special needs. Without further adieu we humbly present The Nancy Lopez Collection.
