Amy Yang

Amy Yang claimed her first major title when she won the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in June 2024.

The South Korean finished on seven-under-par, three strokes clear of compatriot Jin Young Ko, Japan's Miyu Yamashita – who went on to win the AIG Women's Open the following year – and Lilia Vu.

Amy won the Smyth Salver – awarded to the best-placed amateur – at the AIG Women's Open in 2006 and posted her best finish in the Championship (T4) at Walton Heath in 2023. It was her 21st top-10 finish in a major.

She was twice a runner-up in the US Women's Open, losing by four shots to Na Yeon Choi in 2012 and then by just one to another of her compatriots, In Gee Chun, three years later.

On the second of those occasions Amy led by three after the second and third rounds, but Chun, making her debut in the championship and playing on invitation because she had yet to hold an LPGA Tour card, closed with a 66 to snatch the title away from her. An eagle on the 16th and birdie on the 17th re-ignited Yang’s hopes, but she bogeyed the last.

Amy has won six LPGA titles and three Ladies European Tour events, the first of them as an amateur.

She was runner-up to Nelly Korda at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions in February 2026, her first top-10 on the LPGA Tour since she finished tied for eighth in her defence of the CME Group Tour Championship in 2024.
