A T43 finish in the first tournament of a new season is a tough hit for any golfer. The 2025 LPGA season kicked off with the Honda LPGA Thailand at the Siam Country Club’s Pattaya Old Course from February 20 to 23. Jenny Shin, one of the tournament’s participants, had a rollercoaster ride of a game, finishing with a total score of 284 (-4) after rounds of 71-71-73-69. Despite her efforts, Shin tied for 43rd place, taking home $8,488 in earnings.

The real kicker? It’s been 8 long years since Shin’s last win at the 2016 Volunteers of America Texas Shootout. She’s long overdue! With such a lackluster start to the season, Shin will likely be looking to bounce back in her next tournament. However, considering her recent form, it’s hard to be optimistic about her chances, and well, it seems like it’s only getting worse for Shin from here.

After playing two rounds, in which she scored 74 and 72, respectively, Jenny Shin’s participation in the HSBC Women’s World Championship came to an abrupt end. With a total score of 146 (+2), Shin was forced to withdraw from the tournament, unfortunately, due to illness.

In her latest Instagram story, Jenny Shin shared some disappointing news with her fans. Unfortunately, she had to withdraw from the tournament due to feeling extremely unwell and battling fevers and body aches. “Had to WD today from the tournament… unfortunately feeling very ill with fevers and body aches… one of those unlucky weeks,” Shin wrote. She’ll be taking three weeks off before returning to action at the Ford Championship, and she’s already looking forward to getting back on the course. “Will have three weeks off before starting at Ford Championship. See you soon, everyone!”

Jenny Shin has battled health setbacks in recent tournaments, pushing through challenges but forced to withdraw at times. Like, when she left the Maybank Championship in Round 2 last year before sharing a cryptic post about “temporary problems” and taking it easy. But this time, she is not the only one saying goodbye to HSBC Championship midway.

Angel Yin Withdraws from HSBC Women’s World Championship

Angel Yin, who was having a phenomenal 2025 season, was forced to withdraw from the HSBC Women’s World Championship due to illness. After a strong start to the year, including a win at the Honda LPGA Thailand, Yin was looking to continue her momentum. However, she struggled in the first round, shooting a 76, but bounced back with a solid 68 in the second round. She was gaining momentum and moving up the leaderboard, but unfortunately, her health had other plans. Yin’s withdrawal is definitely a disappointment for her fans, who were excited to see her compete in Singapore.

Just when it seemed like she was getting back on track, Yin had to withdraw due to illness. This came after she had already dealt with a last-minute caddie swap when her regular caddie fell ill. Despite the setbacks, Yin showed resilience and adaptability, qualities that will serve her well in her future competitions. With these two players out, who do you think will take home the trophy?
