<h2>Early Life and Introduction to Golf</h2>
<p><a href="/biography/se-re-pak">Se-Ri Pak</a> is a professional <a href="/biography/se-re-pak">golfer</a> from South Korea, best known for her success on the LPGA Tour. Remarkably, she did not start playing golf until the age of 14. Prior to golf, she was a <a href="/biography/se-re-pak">track athlete</a>, and her background in running helped her develop strong legs and physical stamina—traits that later contributed to her power and balance as a golfer.</p>

<h2>Turning Professional and Early Success</h2>
<p>Pak turned professional in 1996 at the age of 20. That same year, she began competing on the LPGA of Korea Tour, where she quickly gained recognition by winning more than six tournaments between 1996 and 1997. She moved to the United States in 1997 and joined the LPGA Tour full-time in 1998.</p>

<h2>Breakthrough Year: 1998</h2>
<p>Pak’s debut year on the LPGA Tour was historic. She captured two major titles: the McDonald’s LPGA Championship and the U.S. Women’s Open. At just 20 years old, she became the youngest woman at the time to win the U.S. Women’s Open. The tournament extended to 92 holes, making it the longest in the history of women’s professional golf. During the same season, she also shot a round of 61 in the second round of the Jamie Farr Kroger Classic, setting a new LPGA record. Her outstanding rookie season earned her the Rolex Rookie of the Year award.</p>

<h2>Sustained Success and Hall of Fame Induction</h2>
<p>From 1998 onward, Pak secured 21 career victories on the LPGA Tour, including five major championships. In 2006, she won the McDonald’s LPGA Championship for a third time. The following year, in 2007, she was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame at the age of 29, becoming one of the youngest inductees in history.</p>

<h2>Historic Participation in Men's Tournament</h2>
<p>In 2003, Pak competed in a men’s professional golf event and finished in 10th place. This achievement made her the second woman in history to make the cut in a men's professional tournament, following <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babe_Didrikson_Zaharias">Babe Zaharias</a> who did so in 1945.</p>

<h2>Challenges and Recovery</h2>
<p>Pak experienced a downturn in performance in 2005, missing the cut in 29 majors. She later revealed in interviews that she was struggling to balance her personal life with her golf career. It was eventually discovered that she had a finger injury, which impacted her play. After treatment and recovery, she returned to form and captured her fifth major title in 2006.</p>

<h2>Legacy and Impact on Korean Golf</h2>
<p>In 2007, Pak won the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic for the fifth time, making her only the fourth player in LPGA history to win the same tournament on five occasions. When she joined the LPGA Tour in 1998, she was the only South Korean woman on the circuit. A decade later, there were over 45 Korean women competing, and her influence has been credited with inspiring a new generation of Korean female golfers to pursue the sport professionally.</p>

<h2>Personal Life</h2>
<p>As of now, <a href="/biography/se-re-pak">Se-Ri Pak</a> is not married, and there is no public information confirming any past marriages or current relationships. Details about her salary or net worth have not been officially disclosed.</p>
