Soyeon Ryu, 6th LPGA winner, “Hello, field”

Retired at the Chevron Championship next month. Ranked No. 1 in the world for 19 weeks in 2017.

Soyeon Ryu (34), who won six times on the LPGA Tour, leaves the field. It has been 16 years since her professional debut.

So-yeon Yoo announced on the 21st that the Chevron Championship, the first major tournament of the LPGA Tour season to be held on the 19th of next month, is the last tournament she will participate in as a player. Soyeon Ryu, who has reached the top six times on the LPGA Tour, including two wins in major competitions, has 10 wins on the Korea Ladies Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour, one win on the Japan Ladies Professional Golf (JLPGA) Tour, and one win on the Ladies European Golf Tour (LET). He recorded a total of 18 wins. Soyeon Ryu is the winner of the 2017 ANA Inspiration competition, the predecessor of the Chevron Championship. That is why he chose this competition as the stage for her retirement. So-yeon Yoo said, “I have competed in many competitions, but thinking about retirement is coming up, and I have mixed emotions.” She added, “The best way to express my gratitude for being able to do what I love as a career and for the love and support I have received is retirement.” “I thought it was a game,” he said. She also said, “I am grateful to my colleagues who have played with me on tour and the fans who have supported me.” After her retirement, Soyeon Yoo continues her work as a brand ambassador for a golf equipment company.

So-yeon Ryu won two gold medals in the individual and team events at the 2006 Doha Asian Games and made her debut on the KLPGA tour two years later. Playing as an invited player, she reached the top of the 2011 U.S. Women's Open and debuted on the LPGA Tour the following year. She was at her peak, winning the LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year Award in 2012 and the LPGA Tour Player of the Year Award in 2017. In 2017, she became the third Korean female player to reach No. 1 in the world rankings, following Shin Ji-ae and Park In-bee, and stayed at the top for 19 weeks. 성인웹툰
