Or a golfer who became a SM influencer

Does it have to be a lady renowned for their playing of the game of golf....surely Fanny Sunesson might warrant inclusion from a non playing perspective?
That's an interesting point but the headline states golfers so I would suggest not.
If the question was Who have been the most influential women in golf? then Fanny would have a very strong claim to be in there.

Absolutely but, not knowing a huge amount about the underlying bookazine other than the opening post, which reading between the lines seemed to indicate that the players feature would be just one of several, I thought I would throw Fanny's name into the mix.

That’s a great shout. If you’re asked to think of women in golf, Fanny would be top 5 surely. Really interesting story as well, I listened to a podcast interview with her a while back.

I love picture 6 in this swing sequence of Laura Davies from when she was a relative newcomer, what an impact position!

Might I respectfully suggest that the overwhelming majority of her followers aren't doing so for the golf?

Imagine discriminating against a very, very good female golfer just because she’s attractive.
A golfer that has 3 million followers and will undoubtedly have inspired a huge number of young female golfers into playing.
Just imagine that level of discrimination just because she does not fit ‘your’ view of the world.

I'll offer up Alice Dye. An American golfer who won over 50 amateur titles and went on to design over 100 courses with her husband (including TPC Saw Grass, Whistling Straits and Kiawah Island).
She is credited with coming up with the design for the 17th island green at TPC Sawgrass.

What the hell is a bookazine?
A cross between a book and a magazine (is basically a nice magazine)
Cheers for all these, very helpful. Is just golfers otherwise Fanny would be in

Given the increasing number of Asian Ladies playing on the LPGA , I'd say Se Ri Pak has to be in there.

Bit of a narrow brief, especially when you consider her history in the game's big moments.
Surely at least a small chapterzine is the least she deserves!

The name that a couple of people have mentioned that I really don't get here is Charley Hull. Clearly talented but in what way can she be classed as being in the top 10 of the most influential women golfers of all time? That just doesn't make sense to me.
