Sung Yu-jin and the supporters' association donated scholarships to the Uwon Golf Foundation, a global golf talent development organization, this year following last year. The scholarship was organized by Sung Yu-jin and the supporters' association to spread the donation culture, and will be used to foster junior golfers who dream of taking a global leap forward.
The donation delivery ceremony was held on the 15th with Park Young-joon, head of the Yuwon Golf Foundation, and Won Jong-taek, chairman of Sung Yu-jin's sponsor. Won Jong-taek, chairman of the sponsorship committee, said, `I hope this donation will be a small contribution to the growth and development of golf dreamers, and I will continue to practice the value of sharing with Sung Yu-jin in the future.'
Sung Yu-jin delivered a third junior training scholarship to the Yuwon Golf Foundation, including this donation. In June 2022, he won his first KLPGA Tour Lotte Open and delivered 20 million won in scholarships, and last year and this year, he donated a total of 20 million won in meaningful scholarships raised with the sponsorship association. Sung Yu-jin has established herself as a golf donation angel by delivering 40 million won so far to become a promising golfer who will lead Korean golf.
Sung Yu-jin "We planned this donation to help discover and nurture golf talents with gratitude to the Youwon Golf Foundation, which has been supported since the time of the boyhood until now."I hope that junior players will be supported by various sponsorship programs from the Yuwon Golf Foundation and will be able to grow stably."
"Recalling the meaningful meaning of this sponsorship, the Yuwon Golf Foundation will do its best to ensure that these donations can be used well in nurturing great juniors with skills and warm hearts like Sung Yoo-jin," said Kim Young-chan, chairman of the Yuwon Golf Foundation. "We sincerely thank Sung Yoo-jin and the supporters for continuing their warmheartedness to the Yuwon Golf Foundation."
The Uwon Golf Foundation has established a virtuous cycle structure in which players supported by the foundation donate for junior golfers as a result of the discovery and development of golf talents that have been going on for the past decade. Following Choi Hye-jin in 2019 and Sung Yoo-jin in 2022, Sung Yoo-jin, Lee Je-young and Jang Yoo-bin continued to donate to the Uwon Golf Foundation in 2024. The Uwon Golf Foundation plans to help raise the status of Korean golf by providing various sponsorships this year.
