On September 29, the KLPGA Tour announced, "Sung Yujin has climbed seven spots from 15th to 8th place (2,495.95 points) in the Wemix Points standings as of last week." The previous day, at the Blue Heron Golf Club (par 72) in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province, she secured victory after a fierce battle that went to a fourth playoff hole against Noh Seunghee at the season's final major, the HiteJinro Championship (total prize money: 1.5 billion won), earning an additional 700 points.

This marks her first major tournament win and her fourth career victory, with a winner's prize of 270 million won. Sung Yujin also earned 100 points in the KLPGA Wemade Award standings, moving up six spots from the previous week to 9th place (288 points).

The KLPGA Wemade Award points system gives the highest scores to major tournaments. Wemix Points also apply a 1.2x multiplier to the ranking points. Since bonus points are awarded for the Wemade Award as well, results in major tournaments have a significant impact on the overall season rankings.

Currently, the Wemix Points rankings are as follows: Yoo Hyunjoo is in first place (4,613.10 points), followed by Noh Seunghee in second (4,266.87 points), Hong Jungmin in third (3,759.63 points), Bang Shinsil in fourth (3,723.65 points), and Lee Yewon in fifth (3,158.74 points).
