South Korea's greatest golfer and the finest putter in women's golf history — seven major championships, Olympic gold medallist and the player who in 2013 won three consecutive majors, one of the most dominant performances in the modern game.
Inbee Park was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1988 and became one of the most decorated major champions in LPGA Tour history — winning 7 major championships and Olympic gold in Rio 2016. She turned professional in 2007. Her 7 majors: US Women's Open (2008, 2013), ANA Inspiration (2013), LPGA Championship (2013, 2014, 2015), Women's British Open (2015) and Evian Championship (2012). In 2013 she won 3 consecutive majors — ANA Inspiration, LPGA Championship and US Women's Open — becoming the first player to win 3 consecutive majors since Babe Zaharias in 1950. She was LPGA Player of the Year in 2013. She spent 45 weeks as world number one. Her putting is widely considered the finest in women's golf. Her Olympic gold at Rio 2016 — where she was joined by fellow Koreans Sung Hyun Park (silver) and Hye-Young Kim (bronze) in a Korean sweep of the top 3 — was a landmark moment for Korean women's golf globally. She has won 21 LPGA titles overall. She is one of 5 players in LPGA history to win 7 or more majors.
