On October 30th, 2023, the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Professionals announced the highly anticipated list of the Top 50 LPGA Teachers for the years 2024-2025. This prestigious list highlights and celebrates the absolute best LPGA instructors from a pool of over 1,900 certified professionals worldwide. We are thrilled to share that our very own Anne Cain, Master Instructor at the prestigious PGA TOUR Golf Academy in World Golf Village, St. Augustine, FL, has been included on this highly esteemed list.

“The LPGA is excited to share this list of our incredibly passionate and experienced golf educators,” said Nancy Henderson, the LPGA’s Chief Teaching Officer. “More than 70 percent of our members teach the game of golf for a living and they are dedicated to the advancement of golf through teaching golfers of all ages and abilities to enjoy the game.”

LPGA Professionals possess a unique and comprehensive training that enables them to teach golf using a holistic approach that encompasses all aspects of the game. This approach places a strong emphasis on effective communication skills, allowing instructors to form relationships built on mutual respect and relevance. At the core of the LPGA curriculum lies the LPGA Integrated Performance System, which provides a framework for both teachers and golfers to address various elements such as the physical characteristics of players, their motivations and objectives, their equipment, motor learning, and control concepts.
