Ina Yoon LPGA earnings: How much did 23-year-old South Korean golfer make from 37 starts
South Korea’s Ina Yoon has caught significant attention after opening the 2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship with a record-tying 63 in her first round.
Yoon is currently near the top of the leaderboard at 10 under in the final round, three strokes behind leader Hae Ran Ryu.
The 23-year-old is still on the lookout for her maiden LPGA Tour title, but has already enjoyed a strong start to her career. Since earning her card with an eighth-place finish at the LPGA Q-Series in 2025, Yoon has accumulated approximately $1.5 million in career earnings, along with five top-10 finishes and 15 top-25s.
In her rookie season, she earned approximately $567,000 across 26 starts. Nearly a third of that total came from the majors, led by a T14 finish at the U.S. Women's Open presented by Ally that brought in approximately $179,000.

Ina Yoon reads a putt during the third round of the KPMG Women's PGA Championship on Saturday.
CHASKA, Minn. — Ina Yoon has been nearly indestructible this week. Her nine-under 63 on Thursday matched the lowest score in the history of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. She came out on Friday and made four more front-nine birdies and shot 69.
She finally came back down to Earth on Saturday (six bogeys to three birdies to shoot 75), but she’s still in prime position with 18 holes remaining in the LPGA’s third major of the season — and one great round away from claiming her first major championship.
