Shirley Spork
Spork was also an important figure in the early years of the LPGA and is remembered as one of the tour’s founders. She competed regularly in the early years of the LPGA before transitioning into golf instruction. As a result of that work, she was inducted into the PGA of America Hall of Fame in 2019. Spork made her first and only foray into PGA Tour competition at the 1952 Northern California-Reno Open.
