Yoon Na-na's debut in the U.S. Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tour is just around the corner.
Yoon Na-na will participate in the LPGA Tour Founders Cup (total prize money of $2 million) at Bradenton Country Club in Florida on the 7th (Korea Standard Time).
It is her debut match. She ranked eighth in the qualifying series of the LPGA tour last year, securing the seed. She will play in the U.S. starting this year, not in the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA).
Yoon displayed impressive performance last year. After being disciplined for one and a half years for her belated report on Ogu Play, Yoon announced her return to the Doosan Engineering & Construction Weave Championship, the opening game in Korea in 2024.
Since then, he has only won a single championship, but he has consistently ranked in the top 10 and swept the top prize winner (1.21 billion won or 893,515 won or 1.21 billion dollars), the grand prize winner (535 points), and the lowest par prize (70.0526). His top 10 finish rate is 56 percent. 메이저놀이터
Yoon has been one of the biggest long hitters in the KLPGA tour, but she also has good insight into accurate iron shots. She ranked second (78.36-26 percent) in the green accuracy rate. If she manages to play short games stably, she will also be able to play well in the LPGA tour.
If Yoon is active in the LPGA tour this year, it will also be a boon to Korea. Korea's competitiveness has been weakening in the U.S. recently. Last year, Korean golfers won only three titles and failed to win any individual titles. Under this circumstance, Yoon can be considered a "young blood" and a "new face" for the LPGA tour.
In addition, the mood is good. Kim Arim made a fresh start by winning the Hilton Grant Vocation Stonement of Champions (total prize money of 2 million U.S. dollars), the opening game of the 2025 season of the LPGA tour. Ko Jin-young and Kim Hyo-joo also made the top 10 and supported her.
As her seniors opened the door for her to win the title, Yoon-na should show off her skills without any pressure. Attention is focusing on whether Yoon-na, who has changed her skills by changing her main sponsor, club and management ahead of her entry into the U.S., will be able to work in the U.S. as well.
