Inbee Park

Biography

Inbee Park's putting stroke became golf's gold standard. The metronomic rhythm - pull back, stroke through, watch it drop - produced seven major championships and a Career Grand Slam completed at just 27. Three majors in 2013 alone showcased a peak that few ever reach. The 2016 Olympic gold medal, golf's first awarded in 116 years, came on a course in Rio where the putting surfaces seemed designed to torment. She made everything. The South Korean wave of golf excellence crested with her, inspiring a generation of young players who watched her win majors with a calm that bordered on serenity. Back injuries eventually slowed her, but the putting never left.
