Didimdol Foundation, a Golf Public Interest Foundation Established in 2022

Choi Ye-rim, who is active on the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour, has conveyed warm love.

Didimdol Foundation announced on the 16th that Choi Ye-rim donated 20 million KRW to nurture junior golf players who will shine in the future of Korea. The donation will be used for various social contribution activities, including CLUBD, a nationwide social contribution club promoted by Didimdol Foundation, and mentoring programs for nurturing junior golf players. The donation ceremony was attended by Lee Seok-ho, head of Daebo Golf Team, Jung Jong-chan, CSO Vice President of Edo, Yeo Ji-ye, Secretary General of Didimdol Foundation, and Choi Ye-rim.

The CLUBD Dream Tree nurturing project started in 2022 with sponsorship from Edo and provides junior players with free lessons and round opportunities three times a year at four golf courses: Gyeongnam CLUBD Geochang, Chungbuk CLUBD Boeun, Jeonbuk CLUBD Geumgang, and Paju Seowon Valley Country Club. Over the past three years, 420 players across nine cohorts have benefited, producing several national representatives, national reserve teams, and junior reserve teams.

Choi Ye-rim said, "I am pleased to participate in sponsorship that can help junior players grow into athletes who will shine in Korea," adding, "I will continue to take interest and participate in social contribution activities for nurturing junior players." Secretary General Yeo said, "We deeply appreciate Choi Ye-rim's sponsorship. We will deliver beneficial and meaningful educational programs to Didimdol Foundation students to repay the kindness sent."

Choi Ye-rim debuted on the KLPGA Tour in 2018 and has shown top-level performance with eight runner-up finishes, although she has yet to win a tournament. This year, she has placed in the top 10 seven times, including three runner-up finishes. She ranks 13th in the prize money ranking with 612.76 million KRW. Didimdol Foundation is a public interest foundation established in June last year to support world-class golf players who will shine in Korea and to expand the base of golf. Chairman Choi Deung-gyu generously donated 1 billion KRW to Didimdol Foundation to nurture junior golf players and expand the golf base.
