Kim Ah-rim to Yoon Yi-na, Lee Dong-eun, Yu Hae-ran, and Hwang Yu-min... 'South Korea's LPGA Long Drive 5 Sisters' complete lineup competing together for the first time
Last year, three Korean players ranked among the top 20 in driving distance on the LPGA Tour. Kim A-rim, Korea's premier long hitter, placed 11th with 273.32 yards, followed by Yun I-na at 13th with 272.94 yards and Ryu Hae-ran at 19th with 270.05 yards.
This year, two more of Korea's top long drivers joined them on the LPGA circuit: Hwang Yu-min, who won the Lotte Championship last year as an invited player, and Lee Dong-eun, who earned her LPGA rookie card through the Q-Series Final. This marks the formation of Korea's "Big Five" long drivers.
