Her first professional victory would come at the 1989 Oldsmobile LPGA Classic in a 5-hole playoff win over <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beth_Daniel">Beth Daniel</a>. At this time in her career, she was known for having a hot temper. She did not always get along with the other players. She was often viewed as standoffish and as someone who was rude and not at all friendly. It was at this time that she received the nickname “Snottie Dottie” by her fellow competitors.</p>

<p><a href="/biography/dattie-pepper">Dottie</a> was a constant <a href="/biography/dattie-pepper">performer</a> in the 1990s leading the tour in wins for the years 1992 and 1996, in money and scoring in 1992, and finishing no lower than 5th on the money list from 1991 through 1996.

<h2>Retirement from Professional Golf</h2>

<p>A series of injuries started cropping up that would eventually force her into early retirement. In 1995, she ruptured her rotator cuff and had a series of thoracic back sprains which caused her to miss six weeks of the tour. During the 2002 season, she only played in one tournament, due to problems with an old injury In her shoulder. In 2004, she decided to hang up her golf bag and announced that she would be retiring by the end of the season.</p>

<p><a href="/biography/dattie-pepper">Dottie</a> raised some controversy in 2007 when she was quoted as saying that the American Team was "choking freaking dogs", during her commentary for the Golf Channel. She was under the impression that she was not on-air and that there were commercials being played, not knowing that she was still alive. This angered some of the players and fans at the event and Pepper immediately apologized for her poor choice of words.</p>

<p>In 2012 <a href="/biography/dattie-pepper">Dottie</a> was chosen to be one of the two assistant captains for the U.S. Team at the 2013 Solheim Cup by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meg_Mallon">captain</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meg_Mallon">Meg Mallon</a>. Pepper retired from her services as a commentator in December of that same year, as she was tired of the constant traveling and wanted to slow things down and spend time promoting Junior Golf as a PGA of America board member.</p>

<p>She was again signed by ESPN in May of 2013 and asked to provide commentary, but this time on a limited basis, she was to cover only the major tournament events like the PGA, LPGA, and Champion Tours.</p>

<p>In 2012, she began writing a series of books for children. It was called ‘Boogie Tees Off’. The books taught children values like honesty through the use of golf characters.</p>

<p>She would go on to replace <a href="/biography/david-feherty">commentator</a> <a href="/biography/david-feherty">David Feherty</a> in 2015 on CBS as he had left to go to work for NBC where he could continue his “Feherty Series” on the Golf Channel. She did occasional tower announcing but mostly took his role as the on-course reporter.</p>
