GRAND SLAM
Louise Suggs
June 9, 1957
LPGA Founder Louise Suggs was the first LPGA Tour member to capture a Career Grand Slam, doing so on June 9, 1957, at 33 years old by winning the LPGA Championship at Churchill Valley Country Club in Pittsburgh, Pa. after defeating Wiffi Smith by three shots. Suggs won her first major title at the Titleholders Championship in 1946 before the LPGA was founded and took home her last career major at the 1959 Titleholders Championship at Augusta Country Club. In total, Suggs won 11 majors, four of which were Titleholders Championships, four of which were Women's Western Opens, two of which were U.S. Women's Opens and one of which was that LPGA Championship in 1957.
Mickey Wright
May 13, 1962
Just five years after Louise Suggs completed her Career Grand Slam, Mickey Wright followed in her American counterpart's footsteps, finishing off her Grand Slam at the 1962 Women's Western Open by beating Mary Lena Faulk in a playoff on May 13 of that year to earn her ninth major victory at just 27 years old. Wright collected 82 total wins on the LPGA Tour throughout her career, the second-most of all time behind Kathy Whitworth, and 13 of those titles were majors, also the second-most in LPGA Tour history, two less than record-holder Patty Berg's 15. She took home four LPGA Championships, four U.S. Women's Opens, three Women's Western Opens and two Titleholders Championships. She won four consecutive majors across the 1961 and 1962 seasons and is the only player in LPGA Tour history to hold all four major championship titles at once. Wright won her last major in 1966 at the Women's Western Open.
Pat Bradley
June 1, 1986
It took just over 24 years for a third LPGA Tour member to complete the Career Grand Slam, and this time, it was 35-year-old Massachusetts native Pat Bradley who accomplished the feat. She won the 1986 LPGA Championship at Jack Nicklaus Sports Center in Mason, Ohio by one stroke over Patty Sheehan to become just the third player ever to win four different majors in her career. Of the 31 titles she earned on Tour, six were major championships, and along with her LPGA Championship victory in 1986, Bradley also won the 1980 du Maurier Classic, the 1981 U.S. Women's Open, the1985 du Maurier Classic, the 1986 Nabisco Dinah Shore and the 1986 du Maurier Classic.
