I noticed that the KLPGA is trying to collect photos, clothing, trophies, newsclips, souvenirs, et al. for a KLPGA Online Museum - about time there's a resource for KLPGA historical info (in addition to Seoul Sisters, of course)

That and Minji's 11th win got me searching for a list of KLPGA career wins. Don't see any compilation online, but have tried to compile on one:

KLPGA career wins [updated]

21 Jiyai Shin

20 Ku Ok-hee

17 Ko Woo-soon

15 Hana Jang

14 Si Re Pak
14 Hyo Joo Kim

13 Mi Hyun Kim

12 Jin Young Ko

11 Hee Kyung Seo
11 Hye Jin Choi
11 Minji Park

10 So Yeon Ryu
10 Ingee Chun
10 Sung Hyun Park

9 Kang Choon-ja
9 Chung Il-mi
9 Jung-min Lee

8 Kang Soo-yun
8 Ha-neul Kim
8 Na Yeon Choi

7 Hae Rym Kim
7 Ji-hyun Oh

6 Hee Young Park
6 Jeong-eun Lee6

5 Jeong-eun Lee5
5 Sei-young Kim
5 Ji-hyun Kim
5 Hae-ran Ryu

4 Ran Hong
4 Char Young Kim2
4 Ji Young Park
4 Su-yeon Jang
4 Bomi Lee
4 Hee Jeong Lim

3 Mirim Lee
3 Hyun Kyung Park
3 A Lim Kim
3 So Mi Lee
3 Ayean Cho

I'm sure I'm missing some, esp in the under-10 wins group - but are there any above 10 wins I'm missing?

It has all the events going back to 1978. One obvious gap in your list is Shin Ae Ahn (3 wins).

Can't seem to find any list of all-time wins on klpga website. And maybe I'm missing it, but can't even find career stats for each player. Have to go through year by year.

The tour started off quite slowly - only one tournament in 1978 - then about 5 or 6/year through the early 80s. Had fewer than 10 players per tournament until the second event of 1983.
Only 18 players in the KLPGA Championship in 1988 - but after that fields started increasing fast.

The tour had relatively few events per year until about 2003 or so. I believe Se Ri had a season where she only played six events but won most of them. So that definitely skews the historical record.

There are a large number of gals with 3 or 4 wins, so for your sanity you might want to make the minimum 5. For instance, Ayean Cho has 3, as does A Lim Kim. I think Ran Hong does, too. Does Char Young Kim? See what I mean?

Also, on the broadcast they claimed Min Ji had 9 career wins. I'll take your word for it, but you might want to double check.

A couple of the Korean sports articles on her win said it was her 11th - but I actually went to your bio of her on SS blog to confirm it, haha.

And yes, haven't reallly tried to find everyone on the lower end. Also, KLPGA has the confounding factor that a lot of the best players move on to JLPGA or LPGA. So top end is skewed by how long the best stay.

I like making these lists, though, so maybe will keep working on it.
