KPMG Women’s PGA Players Spotlight

In just 13 months, the best Women’s Professional Golfers in the world will descend upon Sahalee for the 2024 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. As part of our continuing series on profiling the strongest field in Women’s Golf, this month we shift to the 2022 KPMG Champion, In Gee Chun. Originally from South Korea, In Gee secured her third major championship at Congressional Country Club on the famed blue course and took home $1.4 million for her one stroke victory over Lexi Thompson and Minjee Lee. In Gee’s other major Championship victories include the US Open (2015) and Evian Masters (2016).

Just two weeks’ ago, Chun made some electricity when she aced the 164 yard 17th hole and earned $1 million for nine charities associated with the Chevron Championship. The donations also include $10,000 per birdie, and Chun, 28, followed her hole-in-one with three straight birdies, adding a tip to her million-dollar contribution. The run moved her to four under for the Chevron during the third round.

Currently the 12th ranked golfer in the world, In Gee won the LPGA Velocity Global Impact Award in March for her work with her charity, the In Gee Chun Lancaster Country Club Educational Foundation. Chun created the charity and made a donation of $100,000 in 2015 following her maiden major title, the 2015 U.S. Women's Open, at Lancaster Country Club.
