Park Min-ji (NH Investment & Securities) decorated several pages of KLPGA history in the 2024 season. Since his debut on the tour in 2017, he has been in his prime for a long time, rising to the top with stable shots and putts.
Park Min-ji won the 2024 Celltrion Queen's Masters held in June this year, marking a double celebration. It has achieved the first four consecutive wins in history, surpassing the record of winning three consecutive tournaments set by the late Koo Ok-hee, Kang Soo-yeon, Pak Se-ri and Kim Hae-rim.
This was not the only one. By winning this competition, he received 216 million won in prize money, surpassing 6 billion won in total prize money. It was a remarkable achievement in seven years, seven months, and 14 days since his professional debut.
In addition to Park Min-ji, a rich record was set this year. Ahn Song-yi (KB Financial Group) set the record for the most participations in her career. With his participation in the S-OIL Championship 2024, he exceeded the previous record of 359 tournaments held by Hongran. An Song-yi has increased this record to 361.
Lee Ye-won (KB Financial Group) played 104 holes without bogey from Hole 16 in the second round of the 2024 NH Investment & Securities Ladies Championship to Hole 11 in the second round of the Celltrion Queens Masters. This was a new record that exceeded Kim Ja-young's 99-hole no-bogey play.
Noh Seung-hee (Yojin Construction) played 100 rounds in all 31 competitions this season, setting a record for the most rounds in a single season. In addition, it has passed 45 consecutive preliminary rounds for about a year and three months from last year's Daeyu Winia and MBN Women's Open to this year's Sangsangin and Hankyung Wownet Open 2024, ranking fifth in the category.
It is expected to achieve a rich record in the new season to come. Park Min-ji's record in the spotlight is definitely a new record. Park Min-ji increased her career wins to 19 wins by winning the Celltrion Queen's Masters. Now, one more win and it's 20 wins of your dreams. The only players who have won 20 games in history are the late Koo Ok-hee and Shin Ji-ae. If Park Min-ji wins two games, she will be the main character of the new most wins.
If the prize money of 80 million won is added, Lee Ye-won will be ahead of Park Min-ji, who earned 3.3 billion won in four years, 10 months, and 10 days. In the case of An Song-yi, if she surpasses the record of most appearances and passes 18 qualifiers this season, she can match Hong Ran's record of passing 287 qualifiers.
