Statement from PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem on the passing of Patty Berg
Sep. 11, 2006
The golf world lost a pioneer and legend with the passing of Patty Berg.
Her many contributions to the betterment of the LPGA and the game of
golf will be a lasting part of her legacy. She will be remembered for
her commitment to excellence and her will to succeed, as well as her
boundless energy and enthusiasm, which were always evident at every
World Golf Hall of Fame induction ceremony she attended. The game of
golf is made up of thousands of wonderful people, but Patty stands out
among them. On a personal level, I always found her to be uplifting and
I enjoyed being around her. She was an inspiration to everyone who met
her and we will all miss her.
