Know About Kathy Whitworth’s Husband And Net Worth: Legendary Golfer Dies At 83

Kathy Whitworth, the golfer with the most wins in history, passed away at the age of 83.

The Ladies Professional Golf Association reported on Sunday that Kathy Whitworth, the golfer with the most career victories, had passed away at the age of 83.

Longtime lover Bettye Odle confirmed that Whitworth died unexpectedly on Christmas Eve when she was visiting family and friends. “Kathy left this world the way she lived it, loving, laughing, and creating memories,” Odle added. Odle didn’t say anything about what caused the death.

Once, Whitworth said she didn’t care about breaking records, even though she was the most “winningest” golfer in history.

“I don’t think about what 88 tournaments will mean in the long run,” she said. “I did it because I wanted to win, not to set a record or a goal that no one else could beat. I’m not a very strange person. I just got lucky that I was so successful. I’m not a better person because of what I did to become a better player.

“When people ask me how I want to be remembered, I tell them that if they remember me at all, that’s fine with me.”
