Capsule Bio

Da Ye Na joined the KLPGA in 2006. She only collected one top ten in her rookie campaign.

In 2007, she played on the Asian Ladies Golf Tour, where she made quite a splash. Thanks to a win and another second, she finished atop the money list for that tour that year. Her win at the Asia Miles Binhai Open in Shanghai, China, also counted as a KLPGA win, since that event was co-sanctioned by that tour. She finished 11th on the KLPGA money list in 2007.

Na had three top tens in the 2008 season and finished 26th on the money list. In 2009, she only played a few events in Korea, suggesting that she may have had injury issues.

Na eventually moved over to the JLPGA tour, where she had a fair amount of success. She broke through with her first win there at the 2013 Meiji Cup. She finished that season ranked 17th on the tour money list with close to 50 million won earned.

In 2014, Na's results were not nearly as impressive. She finished 42nd on the JLPGA money list, making a little more than 23 million yen. She had three top tens, her best finish a tie for 6th.

In 2015, Na finished 55th on the JLPGA money list. She had two top tens, her best finish being a tie for 7th.

Na focused on the KLPGA in 2016, but didn't have a lot of success. She finished 75th on the money list, earning about 65 million won. Her best finish was a 13th place. In 2017, Na finished 57th on the KLPGA money list, with about 104 million won earned. Her best finish was an 8th at the Bogner tournament; she had a 9th place as well.

Da Ye finished 63rd on the 2018 KLPGA money list with nearly 87 million won earned. She managed one top ten, a fourth place finish. She played mostly on the Dream Tour in 2019. She hasn't played any of the Korean tours since and seems to have retired. It is known that she has opened a golf academy in Korea, so perhaps she is focusing on that instead of professional golf now.
