Resumo
The success of multiple Korean women on the LPGA tour a decade ago was unheard of; today it is the norm. In the past 5 years, Koreans have joined the tour as rookies of the year, won major championships, and topped money lists. The timing of the success of Korean female golfers has been dependent on golf's emerging popularity and prestige in Korea and a divergence in traditional gender roles after the Korean War. At the core of their success are several traits that are consequences of their cultural upbringing: a work ethic that is the envy of the tour, a devotion to the game that is unparalleled, and indomitable mental toughness. These traits and certain aspects of the Korean psyche, culture, and family help explain why female Korean golfers on the LPGA are thriving. Recent showings by Korean American golfers foretell an even stronger generation of golfers.
