This podcast featuring longtime-caddie-to-the-stars Dean Herden is chock-full-of tidbits and info about the KLPGA, Jiyai Shin, So Yeon, Hee Kyung and his time on the JLPGA (including with a superstar from that tour). A little about In Gee as well, but less than those others. This dates to a few weeks after So Yeon won the Korea Women's Open, which was in 2020. So, which up-and-coming (at the time) KLPGA stars is he touting as the next big thing? The main Sisters-related stuff kicks in around ~44:10, when he talks about his switch from caddying for guys to women. Podcast with Dean Herden

Thanks for the link - hadn't heard of this podcast before. Fascinating interview - and I think he really nails why so many Korean players break through: 3-tier, feeder system. They get tournament-hardened. All the Korean culture blather is pretty much besides the point. There's such a great support system.
Good eye for talent too, obviously.
