Golf instructor Wook Huey Chun earns PGA Master Professional

Golf instructor Wook Hugh Jeon has earned the PGA Master Professional designation, which has only been awarded to 450 golfers in 55 years by the PGA of America.

Mr. Jeon announced on Tuesday (June 10) that he passed the final examination at the PGA of America headquarters in Frisco, Texas, and became a PGA Master Professional.

Fewer than 10 of the more than 3,000 members of the PGA of America, the largest organization of golf teaching professionals in the United States, earn the PGA Master Professional designation each year.

Mr. Jeon is the 450th person to earn the PGA Master Professional designation, which was introduced in 1969. Prior to Jeon, there had only been 449 PGA Master Professionals in the 55 years of the program.

Jeon is the first known PGA Master Professional to be a Korean national.

The PGA Master Professional designation is earned by maintaining the PGA Professional status for more than 20 years, completing three stages of professional career education and research in the field of specialization, and undergoing a rigorous examination with step-by-step tests and research papers.

After graduating from Seoul National University and studying abroad in the U.S., Jeon became a PGA of America Class A professional in 1996 and has been a golf instructor since 2001, producing and hosting more than 900 episodes of golf content on specialized channels such as SBS Golf, JTBC Golf, and MBC Sports.

His “Great Teachers” series of instructional videos, produced in collaboration with Annika Sorenstam, David Redbetter, Bob Toski and Jim Macklin, have been broadcast in 17 countries and six languages.

In 2011 and 2012, he was awarded the South Korean Golf Instructor of the Year Award, and in 2005, he organized and hosted the world's first official Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour event in Pyongyang, North Korea.

His daughter, Jeon Young-in, who he taught, played on the LPGA Tour.

Jeon, who wrote her PGA Master Professional thesis on objective teaching philosophy and advanced swing models using 3D motion sensor systems and artificial intelligence (AI), will open Opus 18, a state-of-the-art golf space in Atlanta, Georgia, in December in collaboration with Gears Golf, a global 3D motion sensor system company.  바카라사이트 추천
