Sports marketing specialist Wow Management Group announced on the 29th that they have signed management contracts with sister golfers Go Ji-woo and Go Ji-won, who represent the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA). Older sister Go Ji-woo, a former national team reserve, debuted on the KLPGA Tour last year and ranked second in rookie points. Behind her charming smile, she earned the nickname "Birdie Bomber" for her powerful long drives and aggressive play.
The younger sister, Go Ji-won, two years her junior, joined the KLPGA Tour this year. After becoming an associate member in April last year, she proved her skills by winning in just three tournaments on the Jump (third-tier) Tour. She progressed through the Dream (second-tier) Tour and secured a first-tier tour card by finishing 20th in the regular tour qualifying tournament in November last year.
Go Ji-woo said, "I am happy to compete on the regular tour alongside my precious younger sister," adding, "My goal is to lead her well, engage in friendly competition, and earn the title of Birdie Queen along with a victory this season." Go Ji-won expressed her determination, saying, "Thanks to my sister, who is my life guide, I think I can adapt to the regular tour with a more relaxed mind," and "I want to continue my reputation with not only the Rookie of the Year title but also a win."
