As an amateur, Hye Jung Choi won the 1999
Korean Junior Championship among other titles.
Hye Jung Choi turned professional in 2002,
but did not join the KLPGA until 2004. She made four top ten
finishes on the 2005 Futures Tour, and gained her LPGA non-exempt
tour card by playing in the 2005 LPGA Q-School and finishing
54th.
Choi decided to focus on the Futures Tour.
She played well there, even winning an event in late April.
She ended up finishing 13th on the Futures Tour money list,
and thus was given a pass into the LPGA's Q-School final round.
She played wonderfully there, eventually tying In-Kyung Kim
for co-medalist honors and thus earning her exempt card for
the 2007 LPGA tour.
In 2007, Choi had a solid season, finishing
in the top 50 on the money list and scoring 4 top ten finishes
in the process. She easily kept her exempt status for 2008.
In addition, she won her first KLPGA tournament at the Hite
Cup Championship.
