The Texas Women’s Open was played from 1935 – 1954. For fifteen consecutive years, the event was held alternately at the River Crest Country Club and Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth. The event was conducted by the LPGA and was last played in 1954. Some of the game’s greatest names captured the event including Babe Zaharias and Betsy Rawls who both captured the title twice.
After a 47-year hiatus, the Board of Directors of the Northern Texas PGA revived the event, quite simply to promote the game to female golfers throughout the region.
