Professional golfer Yoon Ina is giving greetings before attending the Rewards and Punishments Subcommittee held at the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) secretariat in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the morning of September 20, 2022. On this day, the KLPGA held a rewards and punishment committee for Yoon Na, who caused controversy by playing with a ball other than her own during the first round of the Korea Women’s Open held on June 16th and then hiding the fact for over a month even after being aware of it. Proceed.
The suspension of Yoon Ina (20), who caused a stir at last year’s Korea Women’s Open by ‘playing with the wrong ball,’ was reduced from 3 years to 1 year and 6 months.
On the 26th, the Korea Golf Association’s Sports Fair Committee (hereinafter referred to as the Committee) discussed Yoon Ina’s application for relief and said, “The player has complied with the association’s decision and is seriously reflecting on it, and there have been petitions from more than 5,000 people from all walks of life, including fans and players, asking for relief.” “We took into account the public opinion that the association’s disciplinary action was a severe punishment as it led to a three-year suspension from the professional tour,” he said. It is known that Yoon Ina donated all of the prize money received from the 13 competitions in the US mini tour (a small tour that generates prize money from player participation fees) in order to not lose her sense of the game.
The committee decided, “We will reduce the period of suspension from participating in competitions hosted by the Korea Golf Association (KGA) from 3 years to 1 year and 6 months, and add 50 hours of community service until February 18, 2024, when the disciplinary action ends.” Yoon Ina belatedly reported that she violated the rules by playing a wrong ball during the first round of the Korea Women’s Open hosted by the Korea Golf Association in June last year, and she was disciplined for three years in September last year. According to Yoon Ina’s decision on this day, she will be able to compete in the Korea Women’s Open in June next year. In order for Yoon Ina to participate in the KLPGA Tour competition next season, the KLPGA Tour disciplinary action, which imposed a 3-year disciplinary action, must be reduced by referring to the KGA’s decision last year. Ina Yoon made her KLPGA Tour debut last year and made headlines with her long shots over 300 yards, and she posted her first win in July.
