Sung Hyun Park will join the ranks of Korean LPGA Tour stars making the jump to the American-based LPGA.
Park, who is dominating the KLPGA this year, made the announcement in a news conference Monday in Seoul, South Korea. She will be eligible for membership next season based on her non-member winnings being equivalent to top 40 money winnings on the American tour. Park earned $682,825 in seven LPGA starts as a non-member this year. That would rank her 22nd on the LPGA money list and makes her eligible to play next year via Category 10 of the LPGA priority rankings.
