The 2024 Women’s RDGA Player of the Year: Jan LaVigne
The Rochester District Golf Association began its Women’s Player of the Year Award in 2015 as a way of honoring the most consistent championship-level women’s player of the season.
Designed to recognize women’s skill in the game of golf, the Player of the Year award is presented each year. This recognition is open to all women in the RDGA and is based on gross scores only. To be considered for the Women’s RDGA Player of the Year award, golfers must play a minimum of 5 events on the published Points schedule with an additional requirement that 3 of those events must be RDGA events.
Winning this year’s RDGA Women’s Player of the Year honors was Jan LaVigne of Ravenwood Golf Club.
LaVigne outpaced her two nearest competitors – past Women’s Player of the Year Julia Zigrossi and Julie Hamm of Sodus Bay Heights – by 200 and 205 points, respectively to win her first RDGA Women’s Player of the Year Award. LaVigne notched an impressive SIX victories during the 2024 campaign – including five team titles in RDGA Two Person events, along with winning the prestigious 2024 WRDGA Women’s District Championship.
The race for the RDGA Women’s Player of the Year begins each May, with the opening of the RDGA Tournament Schedule.
