Capsule Bio

Ga Young Lee was part of the great 2019 Rookie class on the KLPGA. Although she played well pretty much from the start, she had a hard time breaking through with her first win. She finished 25th on the money list in 2019, earning five top tens including a second. In 2020, however, she only finished 42nd on the money list, earning 120 million won. She had two top tens that season.

2021 was a breakout year for her. She earned over 500 million won, 14th on the money list. This is an amazing total for someone without a win. She had ten top tens, including a second and two thirds. She clearly had shown herself to be a top talent, but wins still eluded her.

Ga Young managed her first top ten on the money list in 2022, earning 636 million won and finishing ninth. But the big news was that she had at last broken through with her first win. That win came at the Dongbu Construction event in mid-October. Interestingly, this was the only event of the season to use the Stableford scoring system; perhaps the rare scoring method gave her more confidence to finally break through. Besides the win, she had two seconds, a third and a fourth.

Ga Young Lee had a strong season on the KLPGA in 2023, although she was not able to get a second win. She did have two runner up finishes and a third, with a total of 5 top tens during the year. She made 443 million won, 20th on the money list.
