Recently, golfing legend Se Ri Pak announced her retirement from the LPGA Tour at the KEB Hana Bank Championship in South Korea. With over 39 victories, including 5 Major Championships, Se Ri is a golf pioneer in her native country. After winning the US Women’s Open in 1998, a love affair with golf began in South Korea and it is still ongoing today.
The effects of Se Ri Pak’s influence is clearly visible on the LPGA Tour. Known as “Se Ri’s Kids,” there are currently over 30 South Korean players on the LPGA Tour. Many of them are ranked inside the top 10 in the Rolex World Rankings and they have clearly dominated the golfing scene in the past few years.

We also learn what Se Ri has planned for her future now that her playing career is over on the LPGA Tour.
