Winners of Women's Western Open, an LPGA Major

The Women's Western Open is another former LPGA Tour tournament whose origins actually pre-dated the formation of the tour. But decades later — long after the tournament ceased to exist, in fact — the tour decided to count this event as a major championship. That means all its winners are LPGA major winners.

Patty Berg was a 7-time champion; Babe Didrikson Zaharias and Louise Suggs each won it four times. The first of Carol Mann's 38 career wins happened in this tournament in 1964.

First played: 1930

Last played: 1967

Also known as: Always played under the same name.
