Tiffany Joh and Jane Park’s friendship was built on warmth, laughter, and memories beyond golf. It began when Tiffany “poked her head around the corner, with an ice cream in each hand” at Mira Vista, recruiting her future best friend to UCLA. From then on, they bonded over skipping classes for “endless breadsticks & salad” at Olive Garden or hitting tired old balls at the range. As Tiffany said, “Thanks for teaching me to not take myself so seriously,” a sentiment that perfectly captures Jane’s influence on her life and game.

Reposting the clip, Jane Park couldn’t resist putting her signature twist on Tiffany Joh’s retirement. She tagged Tiff and quipped, “Go ahead and surf that hurricane—just know I’ll resurrect you only to unalive you properly myself.” It was classic Jane—equal parts sharp and playful. To top it off, she layered the story with the viral track “Dumb Ways to Die,” a perfectly cheeky soundtrack that turned the post into a moment fans couldn’t help but laugh at. For anyone who’s followed their friendship over the years, it was another reminder of how the two always found a way to inject humor into everything, even the biggest milestones.

That humor, though, is only one side of their story. Away from social media, Tiffany and Jane built their bond through years of shared experiences on and off the course—from ice cream in a Texas locker room to birdie bets that passed the same $5 back and forth. As Tiffany once reflected, “I will be forever thankful that we had the opportunity to share such a huge part of our lives together.” Their friendship has been a mix of laughter, loyalty, and lighthearted mischief, one that carried them from college days to LPGA fairways and remains one of golf’s most genuine partnerships.

Tiffany Joh and Jane Park have long been one of golf’s most entertaining duos, just like our favorite Amanda and Paige duo. With Joh’s two LPGA Tour wins and Park’s consistent presence on tour before stepping away, their bond has always blended competitive fire with effortless fun. This latest exchange is just another reminder of that iconic, perfectly humorous bond.

Tiffany Joh’s surfing lessons beyond the waves to the greens

Beyond the witty exchange with Jane Park, surfing has become an unexpected teacher for Tiffany Joh. She first picked up a board in her mid-20s, embracing the discomfort of being a beginner again. That perspective reminded her that progress isn’t about perfection but about showing up and finding joy in the process—whether riding a wave or standing over a putt.

The parallels between golf and surfing are clear. Both demand patience, adaptability, and a balance of precision and feel. As Joh often says, “You work on your craft like it’s the most important thing, but compete like it doesn’t matter.” And when pressure mounts, she leans on another mantra: “Pressure is good. You’ve practiced it. You’ve been here before. Now just swing.” For Joh, it’s about staying present, trusting the work, and finding freedom in the moment—wisdom that guides her on the waves, on the course, and even in playful exchanges with Park.
