Capsule Bio

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.
