A golf broadcaster and former LPGA great, Rankin was the 2002 recipient of the Bob Jones Award, the highest honor the US Golf Association gives. It honors distinguished sportsmanship and is named for Bob Jones, legendary amateur champion of the 1920s who cofounded the Masters tournament and designed the Augusta National course. Rankin won 26 LPGA events during a professional career that began in 1962 at age 17. She is one of the few women to serve as a TV analyst on men’s tournaments, working for ABC and ESPN.
