Minji Kang

Minji Kang has enjoyed a solid year so far on the major circuit after she recorded T19 and T24 finishes at the US Women’s Open and Women’s PGA Championship respectively.

The 26-year-old claimed her best-ever finish on the LPGA Tour in June when she placed T5 at the Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give and also finished T9 at the Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba in April.

From South Korea, Kang played collegiate golf at Truett McConnell University where she won the 2022 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Women’s Golf National Championship.
