Most Career Wins on the LPGA of Japan (JLPGA) Tour

The LPGA of Japan Tour (JLPGA) was founded in 1968, making it the second-oldest women's professional golf tour, behind only the LPGA Tour. The golfer who has the most career wins on the JLPGA is a Hall-of-Famer who later became commissioner of the tour.

The JLPGA's career leader in wins is Chako Higuchi, who, over the period from 1968 through her final win in 1990, claimed 69 victories. Higuchi was Japan's first woman golf star. She played on the LPGA Tour, too, and in 1976 became the first Japanese golfer to win on the LPGA Tour. And when Higuchi won the 1977 LPGA Championship, she became the first Asian golfer, male or female, to win a major championship.
