People believed that Hellen Hicks was a good person because she influenced the LPGA by pushing for women's rights in golf. Hicks’s rival Mrs. George Zaharias also helped improve the LPGA.“When Helen Hicks became the first U.S.woman golf professional in 1934, no one jumped on the bandwagon with her” (“Big Business Babe”).“The big wheel on the women’s circuit and the one who has made women’s golf pay off: Mrs. George Zaharias, better known as Mildred Didrikson, or just plain ‘Babe’” (“Big Business Babe”).
"Today she is the national women's golf champion, 20 years old, a stocky, powerful young lady with a booming. Her game is orthodox, good form all around. She hits magnificent tee shots. Improvement in her approach game brought her into the champion class last year." (Evening Star) As a future founder of the LPGA Hicks was an inspiration towards many women. Many women saw her in the newspaper and were motivated by her victories. In addition, Mrs. George Zaharis, a famous rival of Hicks, was one that improved the prize money for the tournaments and helped create the LPGA.

The WPGA had to get an official charter to make the LPGA. A charter limits the duties and powers of the government. It proves that women were fighting and were given the right to the LPGA and given the right to limited governmental powers. This evidence helps prove women had earned their rights to the LPGA.
