JoAnne Smith was the winner of the first televised woman's sporting event. It was ski jumping. She won by 20 meters. She is my great grandmother.
I could be wrong, but I do believe that some ladies Golf tournaments/challenges were televised before 1964. I remember watching the great Mickey Wright play against another woman golfer (I think it was Sandra Haynie) and think it was closer to 1962.

Where was The first televised sporting event?
The first televised sporting event was a college baseball game between Columbia and Princeton in 1939, covered by one camera providing a point of view along the third base line. But the first network sports broadcast was NBC's Gillette Cavalcade of Sports, which premiered in 1944 with the Willie Pep vs. Chalky White Featherweight Championship bout. Sports soon became a fixture on prime-time network programming, often accounting for one third of the networks' total evening fare. But in the 1950s, as television's other genres matured and developed their own large and loyal (and approximately 50% female) followings, sports began to disappear from network prime-time, settling into a very profitable and successful niche on weekends. This, too, would change, like so much else in television, with alterations in the technology and economics of the medium.
