Nayeon Choi said, “I sincerely thank everyone at the LPGA, USGA (American Golf Association), KLPGA, and KGA (Korea Golf Association) who made the countless stages I dreamed of.
I would also like to thank all the sponsors, including SK Telecom and Daebang Construction, who gave me great help both physically and mentally during my 18-year career as a player.”
He added, “I sincerely thank the many fans around the world who have supported me as well as in Korea.”
Although she will leave the field as a player, Nayeon Choi plans to continue communicating with her fans through her YouTube channel, broadcasts, and lesson events.
“There were many happy times after winning, but sometimes it was very difficult and lonely,” said Choi Na-yeon, who looked back.
He continued, “I will try to experience more things so that I can find greater happiness with my family and friends in Korea.
I will remember the love and support I have received so far, and I want to share my experiences and knowledge with you in the future.”
Nayeon Choi, who suffered severe injuries and slumps, looked back on her ups and downs as a player and also expressed her support for her juniors.
He said, “I regret not being able to meet many foreign players while living abroad.
I was not used to English, I was shy, and I looked forward without any spare time, so my relationship with my overseas teammates was always delayed.
He continued, “I know that this path is a fight against my lonely self, so rather than telling them to just be strong, sometimes I want to take a leisurely look back and cherish and love how proud I am of myself.” “You are already great and great players” emphasized.
