Hanson was born in Fargo, North Dakota, in 1924.[1][2] She studied at the University of North Dakota, Mills College in Oakland, California, and the University of Wisconsin[2] and was a bassoon player, performing with civic orchestras. As an amateur golfer, she won the Texas Open in 1949 and both the California and Southern California ladies' championships. She was a member of the 1950 U.S. Curtis Cup golf team[1] and that year won the U.S. Women's Amateur.[1]
In 1951, Hanson turned professional and won the first event she competed in. She won the inaugural LPGA Championship in 1955,[1] defeating Louise Suggs. In 1958 she was the leading money winner on the LPGA Tour.
Hanson had 17 career wins on the LPGA Tour[3] of which three were majors. Besides the inaugural LPGA major title, in 1956 she won the Women's Western Open and in 1958 the Titleholders Championship.
Hanson died on April 12, 2014, in Twin Falls, Idaho, from complications from Alzheimer's and COPD.[4][5]
Hanson was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2023 and will be inducted in 2024.[6]
