Jeon Hyun-ji, a local coach, was once again named as the 50 best teachers of 2026-2027 selected by the LPGA. He is the only Korean to be selected for the fifth consecutive time.

The LPGA recently selected and officially announced 50 top leaders from around the world. Among the 2,000 LPGA leaders around the world, the only local coach in Korea has been selected for five consecutive times on the list, which has been selected by the U.S. golf community and announced since 2018.

In line with the changing trend amid technological progress, the LPGA has strengthened the selection criteria, including how to use technology in the screening process.

This year, two new Japanese leaders were also selected from Asian countries in addition to former local coaches.




Jeon Hyun-ji was a tour professional who won the KLPGA Phantom Open Golf Championship in 1994 and received the KLPGA Rookie of the Year award.

He is a prominent leader who not only won the 2003 KLPGA Leader of the Year Award but also served as a coach for the Korean national team. In 2020, he is the only Korean female coach to continue his fame at home and abroad by being named in the 75 best international teachers selected by Golf Digest, a U.S. golf media.

The awards will be held at the PGA Show in Orlando, Florida in 2026.
