Weeks After Her $2M Victory, Who Is Amy Yang Caddying For at the LPGA Q-Series? Meet Veteran Golf Pro Jennifer Song

Friendships in the world of golf stick around beyond the greens. Amy Yang recently etched her name in the books of the LPGA Tour with her unexpected win at the CME Group Tour Championship. Riding high on this success, we might have expected Yang to revel in her accomplishments for a while—perhaps taking a well-deserved break or planning the next move in her career.

But the narrative has taken an unexpected turn. Instead of savoring the sweet taste of the win in solitary celebration, Yang is going to be taking a different role altogether—a caddie at the LPGA Q Series for Jennifer Song. Her feature on the greens has increased intrigue about the golfer’s friend, and we have come to save the day. Here’s all you need to know about who Yang is caddying for at Q-School. 

From amateur success to LPGA stardom: A glimpse at Jennifer Song and her golfing career

Jennifer Minyoung Song, the professional golfer, has made a name in the world of golf in her last 13 professional years. The player was born on December 20, 1989, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where her journey into the realm of golf began as a South Korean-American with a passion for the sport. Irrespective of being born in America, Song was raised in South Korea, and so she holds a double citizenship. 

With a prodigious talent evident from an early age, Jennifer Song walked on a clean, successful amateur career before making the decision to turn professional in 2010. In her debut year, she secured two wins on the Future Tour—at the prestigious Tate & Lyle Players Championship and the Greater Richmond Golf Classic. Her performance earned her the title of Futures Tour Rookie of the Year. This marked the start of a journey that would later see her grace the fairways of the LPGA Tour while joining the ranks of some of the elite golfers.

The year 2011 proved to be a defining chapter in Song’s career as she secured her LPGA Tour Membership by finishing an impressive second on the Epson Tour’s Official Money List. This accomplishment not only validated her skills but also opened the door to a new realm of competition against some of the best in the world.

The years following weren’t as professionally charming for the player but throughout her career on the LPGA Tour, Song has showcased her golfing prowess—leaving a mark with multiple top-10 finishes and active participation in a number of big events. Her journey has been marked by both wins and challenges but there have been some things that have remained a constant in her life—her friendships.

Jennifer Song’s 2023 golf journey and the embrace of friendship at LPGA Q Series

Jennifer Song’s 2023 has been rough. This year on the greens, the golfer faced the hard luck of the LPGA Tour season in the face of hurdles that have been a constant test. Song has missed cuts this season. Adding to that, she has finished the year outside the top 100 in the season-long CME points race. Expectedly, many golfers would see the year’s performance as a predicament, but Song has chosen a different path to make her journey back to success.
