Su Oh Bio
Su-Hyun Oh (born 23 May 1996) is a South Korea-born Australian professional golfer who plays on the LPGA Tour. She first drew international attention in 2013 when she reached number one in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, becoming one of the youngest Australians to top that list. Oh later represented Australia at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, where she competed alongside fellow countrywoman Minjee Lee. Since turning professional in 2014, she has built a steady career across the LPGA Tour, the Symetra Tour, the Ladies European Tour, and the WPGA Tour of Australasia, collecting multiple professional victories in the process.
Early Life and Background
Su-Hyun Oh was born in Busan, South Korea, on 23 May 1996. She moved to Australia at the age of eight, where she was raised and introduced to the game of golf, picking up the sport at the age of nine. Her early years in Australia coincided with a rapid rise in Australian women’s golf, and she quickly emerged as one of the country’s most promising junior players.
Oh was only 12 years old when she became the youngest player ever to qualify for the Women’s Australian Open in 2009, a record that underlined her early maturity. She continued to develop through the Australian junior and amateur circuits, eventually earning a place on the Australian National Team. In 2013, she finished tied for second at the Australian Ladies Masters, a tournament co-sanctioned by the ALPG Tour and the Ladies European Tour, signaling that she was ready to compete at the highest amateur level.
Oh’s amateur career reached its peak in 2013, when she rose to number one in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. A year later, in 2014, she was part of the Australian team that won the Espirito Santo Trophy at the World Amateur Team Championship in Japan, playing alongside Shelly Shin and Minjee Lee. That team victory capped one of the strongest amateur runs by an Australian player in recent memory and set the stage for her transition to the professional ranks.
Su Oh Career
Early Career (2014–2015)
Oh turned professional in the fall of 2014, ending a decorated amateur career. She made it to the final stage of the 2014 LPGA Qualifying School but narrowly missed earning a full LPGA Tour card, leaving her with status on the developmental Symetra Tour. Despite the setback, her early professional results showed that she belonged at a high level.
At the 2015 Oates Victorian Open, Oh finished second in her professional debut, a strong start that confirmed her game was ready for weekly competition. One week later, she won the Volvik RACV Ladies Masters in Australia, capturing her second professional start. The victory earned her a two-year exemption on the Ladies European Tour and gave her momentum heading into her first full season of professional golf.
LPGA Tour Breakthrough (2016–2021)
Oh joined the LPGA Tour in 2016 and quickly proved she could compete with the game’s best players. That year, she finished tied for eighth at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, which lifted her to a career-high 40th in the Women’s World Golf Rankings. Her strong form in 2016 also helped her qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics, where she represented Australia in golf’s return to the Olympic program.
Over the following seasons, Oh recorded several close calls on the LPGA Tour. She finished runner-up at the 2016 Kingsmill Championship, the 2019 ISPS Handa Vic Open, the 2019 Meijer LPGA Classic, and the 2021 Cambia Portland Classic. In 2019, she achieved a career-high 33rd-place finish in the season-ending LPGA rankings, the best year-long result of her career to that point.
Australasian Success (2022–2025)
Oh has remained a prominent figure on the WPGA Tour of Australasia, where she has continued to add to her trophy collection. In 2022, she won the Australian WPGA Championship by four strokes at Royal Queensland Golf Club, a dominant performance that reaffirmed her status as one of Australia’s leading players.
In 2025, Oh added another title at the Women’s Victorian Open, played at 13th Beach Golf Links. The win highlighted her continued ability to perform at the top level in the Australasian region and kept her in the spotlight heading into the heart of the 2025 LPGA season.
Notable Events and Milestones
One of the most memorable moments of Oh’s career came in 2013, when she became the number-one-ranked amateur in the world at just 17 years old. Her selection to the Australian Olympic team in 2016, where she played alongside Minjee Lee, remains another defining milestone. Across formats, she has also collected team success, including Australia’s 2014 Espirito Santo Trophy victory at the World Amateur Team Championship in Japan.

WPGA Tour of Australasia Highlights
Oh has recorded three WPGA Tour of Australasia wins during her professional career, including the Australian WPGA Championship at Royal Queensland Golf Club in 2022 and the Women’s Victorian Open at 13th Beach Golf Links in 2025.

Her first professional title came in only her second start, signaling a rapid adaptation to the professional game.
Other Wins and Performances
Beyond her individual professional titles, Oh’s most notable team result came at the 2014 Espirito Santo Trophy, where she helped Australia win the World Amateur Team Championship in Japan. On the LPGA Tour, she has produced four runner-up finishes, at the 2016 Kingsmill Championship, the 2019 ISPS Handa Vic Open, the 2019 Meijer LPGA Classic, and the 2021 Cambia Portland Classic, narrowly missing a breakthrough LPGA victory on each occasion.

2025 Season Performance
Su-Hyun Oh began the 2025 season with a strong statement, capturing the Women’s Victorian Open at 13th Beach Golf Links early in the year. The win provided an immediate confidence boost and showed that her game remained sharp heading into the LPGA Tour calendar. It also continued her consistent record of competing for titles on the WPGA Tour of Australasia.
Building on that early-season momentum, Oh has continued to balance her schedule between the LPGA Tour and Australasian events throughout 2025. Her track record of multiple LPGA runner-up finishes and her steady form over recent seasons suggest she remains a threat to contend for her first LPGA victory. With a proven ability to perform in both high-pressure individual events and team formats, the outlook for the remainder of the 2025 campaign remains positive.
