[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] World No. 1 Ko Jin-young (25, photo) will continue to use Bridgestone Golf next year.

On the 24th, she extended her iron usage contract with Seokgyo Corporation, the exclusive importer of Bridgestone Golf. This marks the seventh consecutive year since 2015. Despite playing only four tournaments on the LPGA Tour this year due to the impact of COVID-19, her "pinpoint iron shots" played a crucial role in maintaining her titles as 'Money Queen' and 'Number 1.' Ko Jin-young debuted on the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour in 2014 and has accumulated a total of 10 wins.

In 2017, as a non-member, she won the KEB Hana Bank Championship held in Korea, securing a direct ticket to the LPGA Tour. She earned the LPGA Tour 'Rookie of the Year' award in 2018, and last year, led by two major wins and a total of four victories, she achieved four major titles. On the 21st, she recorded her seventh career win at the final CME Group Tour Championship. She is currently considering participating in the Diamond Resorts Tournament, which opens on January 21 next year in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA.
