'Major Queen' Jeon Inji Returns... Aiming for a Comeback in Jeju

Confirmed to Compete in KLPGA Tour S-OIL Championship
Winless Since Injury-Induced Slump After June 2022
"I Will Lift the Championship Trophy in Jeju"

'Major Queen' Jeon Inji greets Korean golf fans.

She will compete in the KLPGA Tour S-OIL Championship, which will be held at Elysian Country Club (par 72) in Jeju on October 30. Jeon Inji recorded nine victories on the KLPGA Tour, including three major titles, before joining the LPGA Tour in 2016. In the United States, she has also achieved four career wins, including three major championships.

However, a series of injuries have led to a title drought since her victory at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, a major tournament, in June 2022. This year, she participated in 17 LPGA Tour events but did not finish in the top 10. Her best result was a tie for 18th at the Chevron Championship, a major tournament, in April.

Jeon Inji is hoping for a turnaround in Jeju. She has fond memories of the S-OIL Championship, having won back-to-back titles in 2014 and 2015. Last month, she demonstrated her competitiveness by finishing tied for 13th at the KB Financial Star Championship, a KLPGA Tour major event. Through the tournament organizing committee, Jeon Inji expressed her determination, saying, "I will once again lift the trophy with S-OIL in Jeju."
