During the last 10 years, the Korean recorded 18 overall wins, including six majors, won the Olympic gold medal in Rio and became the youngest player to qualify for the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame. Wie also enjoyed an impressive 10 years, including her first major victory at the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open. That same year, she also won the inaugural Rolex ANNIKA Major Award and over the decade made five Team USA appearances in the Solheim Cup and UL International Crown.
