The Hall of Fame will honor one winner each year, selecting those who fit the criteria of personifying “Sifford’s groundbreaking achievements through perseverance, confidence, respect and adaptability.” The Sifford Award’s inaugural recipient is Renee Powell, the second Black woman ever to compete on the LPGA Tour.
