Amy Alcott (born February 22, 1956) is an American professional golfer[1] and golf course designer. She became a member of the LPGA Tour in 1975, and won five major championships and 29 LPGA Tour events in all. She is a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame. She was a part of the architectural team that designed the golf course for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.[2]

Professional career

Alcott was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and is Jewish.[3]

She won the U.S. Girls' Junior in 1973,[4] She turned pro in 1975 at age 18, directly upon graduating from Palisades High School in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles.[5] Her first victory came in her third start as a professional at the Orange Blossom Classic on the LPGA Tour.[6] She went on to be named LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year.[4] Alcott won four tournaments in a year three times, in 1979, 1980, and 1984. Her best year came in 1980, when in addition to those four victories she also won the LPGA Vare Trophy for lowest scoring average, finished second five times and was in the Top 10 in 21 out of 28 tournaments played.[7]

Alcott's first major championship victory came at the 1979 Peter Jackson Classic (later renamed the du Maurier Classic). She went on to win the U.S. Women's Open in 1980 and the Nabisco Dinah Shore in three times, in 1983, 1988, and 1991. The 1991 Nabisco Dinah Shore was her final victory on the LPGA Tour. After her win at the 1988 Dinah Shore, Alcott initiated what is now a tradition of the winner leaping into Poppie's Pond to celebrate.[8]

That win was the 29th of her career.[4] At the time, the LPGA Hall of Fame required at least 30 career wins for entry. Alcott chased for the 30th win in vain over the next several years.[1] In 1999, the LPGA switched to a points-based criteria under which Alcott gained admission and she was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.[7]

Alcott is also a member of the National Jewish Museum Sports Hall of Fame, and the Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.[9]

From 2002 to 2004, the Office Depot Championship Hosted by Amy Alcott was a part of the LPGA Tour.

Following the end of her touring days, Alcott started working in golf course design and also hosted a satellite radio program. She has written an instructional book and taped an instructional video.

In July 2007, Alcott accepted the position as girls' golf coach at Harvard-Westlake School in North Hollywood, California.[7]
