Who is the only female golfer to make the cut at the PGA?
While there is no rule against women playing in PGA Tour events, only a few have attempted the feat and, as of 2012, no female golfer has succeeded in finishing a men’s tour event.
Arguably one of the greatest athletes of all time, Babe Zaharias was an excellent basketball player, held 2 Olympic gold medals from the 1932 Olympics, and won 55 golf tournaments throughout her career.
She was also the first woman to play a PGA Tour event and is still the only woman to ever make a cut on the PGA Tour.
