No.
The actual organizations LPGA and PGA do not employ hypnotherapists, but each individual player may use their services.
Each player is responsible for hiring his own caddy, coach, personal assistant, etc.
But they should becasue most professional sports employ professional theapists, or "shirnks" to help with their visualisation and to keep their minds on track when the going gets tough. Golf is especially a tough game because the ball doesn't move and you have to strike it and make it look good. There really is no excuse for missing it is there? I mean, nobody is throwing it at you at some incredible speed, or trying to hit you with it, or anything else. Golf is 80 percent a mind game where you have to overcome your own self-doubts, your own inner demons and your own known weaknesses. Nobody there to help you overcome those things is there?

Many players have their own sports psychologist.
