"Span" refers to the years during which the listed win total was compiled. In other words, the year of the golfer's first win and of her last or most-recent.
Note that the spans for some golfers pre-date 1950, the year the LPGA Tour first played. That is because some pro tournaments that existed prior to the LPGA's founding are, today, retroactively counted as official tour victories for the winners. That includes two majors, the Women's Western Open and Titleholders Championship. The U.S. Women's Open also started before the LPGA Tour was created.
