There is one member of the World Golf Hall of Fame who played high school girls golf in Michigan.

Meg Mallon, a graduate of Farmington Hills' Our Lady of Mercy in 1981, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2017, highlighting a remarkable career that included 18 LPGA Tour victories, four of which were major titles.

She is also a member of several other prestigious Halls of Fame: the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame (2010), Mercy High School's Athletic Hall of Fame (2023), Ohio State's Athletic Hall of Fame (1996), Palm Beach County's Hall of Fame (2011), and the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame (2002).

At Mercy, Mallon was part of the inaugural golf team her junior year. As a senior, she finished second at the 1980 Lower Peninsula Open Class Girls Golf Final, contributing to her team’s fourth-place finish. She also played four years of basketball and two of softball during her time at the school.

Following high school, Mallon captured the 1983 Michigan Amateur Championship and earned all-conference honors as a golfer for Ohio State in 1984 and 1985.
