Golf lessons, broadcasting appearances and brand collaborations on the horizon
Kim Ja-young, a former multiple-winner on the KLPGA Tour, has signed a management contract with Frain Sports to begin a new chapter in her golf career.
Frain Sports said it will support Kim across a range of planned activities, including golf lessons, broadcasting appearances and brand collaborations.
Kim made her debut on the KLPGA Tour in 2010 and claimed three victories in the 2012 season to win the tour's multiple-winner title, also taking home the popularity award that year. She added a fourth career title with her win at the 2017 Doosan Match Play Championship.
Kim stepped away from the regular tour after the 2020 season and began teaching golf at Hyundai Card Iron & Wood last year. This year she has also been active as a brand ambassador for Majesty Golf, Amazing Cree and Nexen Saint Nine.
"I started this second chapter in golf wanting to give back the love I have received through the sport and to have a positive influence on the golf world," Kim said. "I hope to draw on the experience I built as a player, pursue a wide range of activities and contribute to the growth of golf."
