Shirley Ruth Englehorn (December 12, 1940 – October 2, 2022) was an American professional golfer.

[6][9] She first played golf when she was six years old,[10] having been introduced to the sport by Shirley Spork, one of the thirteen founders of the LPGA, and also studied with Johnny Revolta, an 18-time PGA Tour winner and the PGA Championship victor in 1935.

[6][11] After graduation from Caldwell High School in 1958, Englehorn turned pro at age 18 in 1959 and joined the LPGA Tour.

[8][13] Despite a career-threatening equestrian accident in Georgia in March 1960,[14][15][16] Englehorn recovered and won her first tournament at age 21 in July 1962 at the Women's Eastern Open in Sutton, Massachusetts.

Five years earlier, in 1965, she suffered injuries in an automobile accident and missed much of the season.
