Jiwon Jeon

Jiwon Jeon (전지원), born May 26, 1997 in Daegu, South Korea, is a professional golfer competing on the LPGA Tour. She moved to Queensland, Australia at age 15 to attend Hills International College on a golf scholarship before relocating to the United States for college, attending Daytona State College before transferring to the University of Alabama, where she holds school records in women's golf. Jeon turned professional in 2020 and has since established herself as a consistent presence on the LPGA Tour.

Jeon built a strong foundation as an amateur. She reached the final of the 2018 U.S. Women's Amateur, losing to her Alabama teammate Kristen Gillman, and ranked as high as 6th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. In 2018 and 2019 she was selected for the International Arnold Palmer Cup team. Her amateur form was strong enough that in 2019 she became the first Korean woman to earn an LPGA Tour card while still an amateur. She turned professional the following year.

Her first professional victories came on the Epson Tour in 2023, winning the Inova Mission Inn Resort and Club Championship and the French Lick Resort Charity Classic. Those results secured her LPGA Tour card for 2024. On the LPGA Tour she has shown steady improvement, qualifying for the 2024 U.S. Women's Open and recording a hole-in-one at the Portland Classic in August 2024. She made three aces across the 2024 season in total, including at the Buick LPGA Shanghai and at The ANNIKA.
