Road to the LPGA: Futures Tour |
Jenny Park-Choi started playing golf at the age
of 14. Though born in Korea, she is a U.S. citizen, and is married,
a rarity among the Korean players on tour. Her best finish on the
Futures Tour was a 2nd place. In 2000, she earned non-exempt status
on the LPGA tour at Q-School. She had to go back to Q-School in
2001, and again earned non-exempt status. She was given an injury
deferral to play on the 2003 tour.
However, Jenny deferred her deferral in 2003, and
took the season off to give birth to her first child, Kylie Jinhee
Choi.
In 2004, Jenny did not maintain her card during
the season, and failed to get a card at Q-School. She is working
as a golf pro in the Bay area and has retired from playing golf
professionally.
