Ah, heck. What a bummer. I can't say it's a surprise, she hasn't really been at her top level for several years, but she's the first major player from the Se Ri Kids to announce this. Best of luck to her going forward! I hope we'll get to see her now and again, but she had a fantastic little career considering she never made it over to the US. She was POY and money list leader on the KLPGA, arguably the top overall player there in 2011 and 2012, and a fantastic force for several years on the JLPGA. She finishes with 8 KLPGA wins and 6 JLPGA wins. It sounds like she will play at least once more on the KLPGA in November, although they didn't mention which event in the article I read. She's also scheduled to make one more JLPGA appearance this week.

I had mixed emotions when Ha Neul Kim dropped out of Q-School. Because I thought that she would be a one of the top players over here. However she and Bo-Mee Lee really has enjoyed there time on the JLPGA Tour. After all is said and done it's all that really matters.

I don't remember her dropping in to Q-School. Oh wait, was this related to avoiding KLPGA "punishment" payments? I don't remember. (Okay, I just confirmed that on Sky's profile on the Seoul Sisters main page).
The main page also confirmed that is was 2014 when she had that miraculous semi-final win in the Doosan Match Play ... I think she made a crazy flop shot hole-out to avoid elimination ... wonder if it's on YouTube?
Lucky for me, she was a two-fer ... 2013 USWO and 2017 USWO, that is. See my reports on those events ... can I rub it in further?

I have always loved her husky voice. I hope she will go into broadcasting or media work.

I don't get why a young gal like Ha Neul up and quits. Dustin Johnson must be at least 5 years older & he's making more money than ever. Vijay won 22 PGA tournaments after age 40. I sure hope she's not hooked up with some fruitcake actor or celebrity. Very disappointing.

This is sad, I always thought she would be big in Japan but it sort of never panned out. Don't know why - maybe she didn't pick up the language as fast as Bo-mee Lee. This being her last event is no surprise as Nobuta Group is her main sponsor and title sponsor for this event. Not a bad record on the JLPGA , 6 wins and earnings of USD3.3 Million - Many players would be wishing on a star for that kind of career.

If Earl Woods really knew what he was doing, he would have turned his son into a gelding 25 years ago. Tiger would have 40 majors by now.
