After Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa left the LPGA to focus on family, youth mostly dominated the past decade. A dozen players took a turn at No. 1 after Ochoa ended her streak of 158 weeks in May 2010. With nine total victories, Brooke Henderson became the winningest player in Canadian golf history. Suzann Pettersen closed out the decade, and her career, with a putt that clinched the 2019 Solheim Cup for Europe. Lydia Ko collected 15 LPGA titles from 2012 to 2018, including two majors. The decade’s most dominant player, Inbee Park, spent 106 weeks atop the Rolex Rankings from the span of 2013 to 2018.
