Oneda Maryon Castillo (born April 13, 1952) is a Global Education Instructor for the Ladies Professional Golfers Association (LPGA). She joined the LPGA in 1997. She is the third African American woman to achieve Class A status as a LPGA Teaching and Club Professional (T&CP), doing so in 2003.[1] As of 2022 she is one of only 15 African American women golfers to become a Class A LPGA Teaching Professional.[2]
Oneda had a personal quest to play golf in all 50 states. She conquered the links in her 50th state on January 13, 2018, at the world famous Kapalua Golf Course in Lahaina, Hawaii. Ironically, this occurred on the same day as the fake missile notification in Hawaii, which garnered her participation in another historic event. She shared all the exciting details of her journey with the LPGA Women's Network in a video. Watch the video here.
Oneda now works as the Vice President of the Women's Golf and Travel Concierge company.
