The 2014 Season was a record breaker for Korean players on the LPGA, both in total victories (16) and the number of different winners (10), exceeding the marks set in 2009. This was also the first season in which more than one Korean who wasn't a member of the Tour won tournaments and although two non-member wins by Koreans isn't a record (Jiyai Shin in 2008 set that mark all by herself with three) it signaled that the Hallyu wave in women's golf hasn't been spent yet.

Six for six in 2015...

...and the last non-Korean to win on Tour? South African Lee-Ann Pace at the Blue Bay on Hainan last October. Since then players of Korean ethnicity have won ten straight.

Will the streak continue in Carlsbad this coming week at the Kia?

Players from Korea or of Korean descent have matched last year's record of 16 Tour victories with nine events still to come this season. This year has seen the ascent of Lydia Ko to the world #1 ranking, the youngest golfer male or female ever to achieve that plateau, then surrender it back to Inbee Park. 152 events all time have been won by Koreans.

Yeah, her prediction sure seems pretty "dead on"...

It's always a good day in Seoul Sister land when I update the Honor Roll, but did any of us figure that I'd be typing Meesh's name again? I certainly didn't, but then again that girl is full of surprises, isn't she?

Come on Kevin...you know better than to update the Honor Roll with a FAKE Korean...especially the Asian Giraffe.
I suggest you remove her.....you know how much Happyfan HATES her.....don't believe?....notice he has not posted a HSBC summary.
Please don't POKE the BEAR....lol.....for those WRX'ers...remember KingLeo....he was such a CLOWN.

Internet Rule #1: DON'T FEED THE TROLLS.

I'm bending that rule to remind our readers to read the first sentence of the preamble to the list. I interpret it to mean ANY full-blooded Korean, regardless of nationality, and most Koreans would interpret it the same way. It is based on a long ago article posted by Yonhap News when the list reached 100. That definition therefore excludes Haru Nomura, who is only half-Korean on her mother's side.
