Hyo Joo Kim is a name that golf fans know well. She made history at the 2014 Evian Championship, setting a record with a stunning 61 in the first round—on her very first major appearance! Since then, she has remained a strong competitor on the LPGA Tour. But behind every successful athlete is a strong support system. So, who stands behind Kim, cheering her on?

Kim was born to her parents, Choi Sung-hwi and Kim Chang-ho, who have likely played a big role in her success. While she keeps her personal life under wraps, it’s safe to assume that her parents have supported her career from the very beginning. After all, becoming a top golfer requires years of dedication, and family support often makes all the difference.

Beyond her family, Kim also has a solid team of coaches, trainers, and mentors who help her stay at the top of her game. And let’s not forget her fans—both in South Korea and around the world—who cheer her on with every tournament.
