Six of the 13 players who finished in the top 10 at the Sh Suhyup Bank MBN Women's Open, a Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour event that concluded at The Star Hue in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province, on the 31st of last month, were Ping contract players, drawing attention.
Park Min-ji captured her first victory of the season and her 20th career tour win using Ping's G430 LST driver, G440 fairway wood and hybrid, i240 irons and Ketsch Mid Cadence TR putter. All 20 of Park's tour victories have come with Ping clubs.
Park, who had been strongly attached to the G400 driver she had used since 2017, switched to the G430 upon its release in the fall of 2022 and has continued to use it ever since.
Rookie Kim Ji-yoon, who finished alone in second place, has also used Ping clubs since her days on the junior national team. Noh Seung-hee, who tied for third, and Yoo Hyun-jo, who tied for fifth, are also Ping contract players, while Jang Eun-soo, another player tied for fifth, signed with Ping this year and has been posting strong results. Rookie Kim Ga-hee, who tied for ninth, is also a Ping player who has used the brand since her junior national team days.
The winning clubs at LIV Golf Korea, which concluded the same day at Busan Asiad Country Club, were also Ping. Joaquin Niemann of Chile claimed the 6 billion won winner's purse using Ping clubs from driver to woods, hybrid, irons, wedges and putter.
