(CNN) — Kathy Whitworth, the winningest golfer in history, has died at the age of 83, the Ladies Professional Golf Association announced on Sunday.
Whitworth died suddenly Saturday night while celebrating Christmas Eve with family and friends, her longtime partner Bettye Odle said.
“Kathy left this world the way she lived her life, loving, laughing and creating memories,” Odle said in a statement.
