WHAT:
The World Golf Hall of Fame and the LPGA will host a special press conference and celebratory toast for 2017 Inductee Meg Mallon on Tuesday, March 28 at 4:30pm PT inside the ANA Inspiration Media Center.
Mallon will be joined by World Golf Hall of Fame President Jack Peter and LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan, who will discuss her career merits and answer questions about the Induction Ceremony.
It was announced late last year that Mallon would be enshrined into the World Golf Hall of Fame during the 2017 Induction Ceremony, the week of the Presidents Cup in New York on September 26, alongside Davis Love III, Lorena Ochoa, Ian Woosnam and the late Henry Longhurst. Mallon’s 18-career LPGA Tour victories and four Major Championships are just part of her winning make-up. A member of eight Solheim Cup teams as a player (she was captain in 2013), Mallon was recognized during the LPGA’s 50th Anniversary as one of the LPGA’s top-50 players and teachers. She also earned the Golf Writers Association of America Female Player of the Year award in 1991.
For media not in attendance at the ANA Inspiration, the press conference and celebratory toast will be streamed live on the World Golf Hall of Fame’s Facebook page.
