Capsule Bio

Jimin Jeong started playing golf at the age of 13. Among her biggest accomplishments as an amateur was winning the 2002 Korean Junior Championship and the 2003 Korea College Championship. She was a member of the Korean National team in 2003.

Jeong turned pro in late 2004, and moved to America to compete on the Futures Tour. She played on that tour from 2005-2007, winning two events in 2006 and one in 2007.

She kept trying to qualify for the LPGA and finally gained conditional status in her third try in 2007. It remains to be seen whether she will focus on the Futures Tour again in 2008 or will try to play LPGA events.
