Lexi Thompson was among 18 people to receive an award.

Thompson won the Founders Award from her playing peers. This award goes to the best player who exemplifies the LPGA’s spirit, ideals, and values through her behavior and deeds.

Winning this award is a huge honor on its own, but to know that it was voted on from my fellow peers, that I think so highly of and think that they’re such amazing women on and off the golf course, it means so much to me,” Thompson said accepting the award.

“I have cherished every single friendship that I have made in my whole career out here. So, thank you to them for, I guess, having this respect for me. Like I said, I’ve gained a lot of friendships, and I’m grateful for every single one of them.”

Thompson, Jane Park, Hae Ran Ryu, Lilia Vu, Jim Fitterling and Sheri Hayes earned individual awards.

Park won the Heather Farr Perseverance Award, which goes to the player who has demonstrated determination, perseverance, and spirit in fulfilling her goals.

Her daughter, Grace Godfrey, experienced undiagnosed epileptic seizures during the 2021 Ascendant LPGA event. Park became her full-time caregiver and a massive advocate for disability and epilepsy awareness. This July, she returned to the LPGA to play at the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational.

Ran Ryu earned the Louise Suggs Rookie of the Year honors. Among the 32 rookies, she earned 893 points to clinch the award ahead of the season finale. She became the sixth player from Korea since 2015 to earn this award.

Vu is a four-time LPGA winner this season and earned the Rolex ANNIKA Major Award. She had the most outstanding record in all five major championships.
