LPGA Record: Oldest Golfer to Make a Cut

Who is the oldest golfer to make the cut in an LPGA Tour tournament? In the tour's history, two golfers aged 65 have made the cut. Not surprisingly, they are both LPGA legends and Hall of Famers.

These are the oldest golfers to make the cut in an official tournament on the LPGA Tour:

• Juli Inkster, 65 years, 11 months and 19 days, 2026 Dow Championship
• JoAnne Carner, 65 years, 26 days, 2004 Chick-fil-A Charity Championship

Just as with the record for oldest golfer to make a PGA Tour cut, the oldest LPGA golfers to make a cut are two of the tour's all-time greats. But the record-holder is Inkster, nearly 66 years old when she made the cut in the 2026 Dow Championship.

The Dow Championship used a two-player, team format, and Inkster was partnered with Angel Yin, who was nearly 40 years her junior. The pair easily made the cut, and finished in a tie for 12th place.

Inkster broke Carner's record, which had stood for 22 years. Unlike Inkster, when Carner set her record she did it in an individual (rather than team) tournament. In 2004, the year in which she turned 65, Carner played in 10 tournaments on the LPGA Tour. Among other things she did that year, she recorded her third career tournament hole-in-one. And she made the cut in a major, the Kraft Nabisco Championship.

And Carner's final made cut on tour was in the 2004 Chick-fil-A Charity Championship. After making the cut she finished 90th — last among those who played the weekend.
