[Golf Topic] Kim Se-young Heads to the U.S. to "Prepare for LPGA Tour Return"

Kim Se-young has arrived in the United States and has begun full-scale preparations to return to the LPGA Tour.

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…World No. 6 Kim Se-young (27, Mirae Asset) is heading to the United States.

On the 11th (Korean time), she arrived at her home in Dallas, Texas. Among Korean players on the U.S. Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour who had been staying in Korea, she was the first to return to the U.S. She plans to make her comeback at either the Arkansas Championship on the 29th or the major ANA Inspiration on the 11th of next month. She will train in the U.S. for about two weeks while adjusting her schedule. Kim Se-young started smoothly by finishing in the 'Top 10' in both tournaments held in Florida, U.S., in January.

After the LPGA Tour was suspended in February due to the COVID-19 outbreak, she returned to Korea and participated in five Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour events. Although the LPGA Tour resumed after five months starting with the Drive On Championship on the 1st, she stayed in Korea due to concerns about COVID-19. Last week, she even gave up defending her title at the Marathon Classic. She plans to compete in major tournaments such as the ANA Inspiration, KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, and the U.S. Women’s Open going forward.
