Youmin Hwang

Youmin Hwang (Korean: 황유민) is a South Korean professional golfer born on April 17, 2003. She competes primarily on the LPGA Tour, where she holds full membership as a 2026 rookie, and built her early career on the LPGA of Korea Tour (KLPGA).

Hwang turned professional in 2022 and won for the first time on the KLPGA in 2023, taking the Dayou Winia-MBN Ladies Open. Two further KLPGA victories followed: the Doosan E&C We've Championship in 2024 and the Daebo HausD Open in 2025. She also won the Foxconn TLPGA Players Championship on the Taiwan LPGA Tour in March 2025. Her breakthrough on the global stage came in October 2025 when she won the Lotte Championship at Hoakalei Country Club in Hawaii, beating Hyo Joo Kim by one stroke with a 17-under total.

On the KLPGA, Hwang was recognised as one of the longest hitters on tour. Since joining the LPGA, she has adjusted her approach, distinguishing more carefully between when to attack and when to manage risk on tighter American layouts.
