Danielle Kang is one of the spectacular rising stars on the LPGA Tour. Her journey on the established circuit started when she was only 14 years old. She earned an exemption for the 2007 US Women’s Open. it was the beginning of her love for the US Women’s Open event and the LPGA Tour in general.

Soon after, in 2010 and 2011, she achieved the title of US Women’s Amateur and went pro. Her first win on the Ladies Professional Golfers Association circuit came in 2017 at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Since then she has gone from strength to strength. Therefore, her tragic miss at the 2023 US Women’s Open is baffling to her fans.

Danielle Kang’s brother has a field day teasing her

The American Pro Golfer has a brother named Alex Kang who played for San Diego State during his early years and has been a constant support by her side. The entrepreneur with a love for the arts had the time of his life teasing Kang about missing the cut at the 2023 US Women’s Open.

He added several Instagram stories on his account wherein he continues to tease the LPGA golfer. Throughout the sequence, the two-time US Women’s Amateur winner is seen in the video while her sibling stays behind the camera, recording her reaction to his mocking.

In the first video, she was asked how she was doing, while in the second, her brother took it up a notch. “This is what happens when you miss the cut,” said he. “You merch-shop… at your own event.” The 2017 Solheim Cup contender smiled, pretended to scratch her face, then slowly raised her finger up for him.

In the third story, Alex and Danielle Kang, whose parents are from South Korea, are seen enjoying a meal with ‘Boys Over Flowers’ fame Lee Min Jung and ‘Masquerade’ actor Lee Byung Hun. The Pro golfer’s brother asked again how she was doing before moving on to comments from their friends.

Gradually, Kang seems to be feeling better as she strolled down the greens with her brother trailing behind. “Hey,” he called out. “You practicing so you can make the cut next year?” he teased again and once more she flipped him off.

He captioned the last one: “Should @daniellekang swim out and back.” And proceeded toward the funniest interaction yet. “Hey, since you can’t make money on the golf course,” he started, making her chuckle. “I’ll give you a $1000 to swim out there 100 yards and back.” He zoomed in to show his fans and hers the exquisite ocean view beyond and continued, “Cause uh, you gotta cover your bills, you know, you got a nice house. Here’s 1000,” he said, handing her a few bills.

“Should I do it?” she leaned into him pulling her leg. “I think I can do it,” she claimed. He said he’ll do a poll, and he kept his word.

No matter what he said, Alex Kang cheered his sister up by the end of his story sequence.
