Danielle Kang Bio

Danielle Grace Kang was born on October 20, 1992, in San Francisco, California. Her parents K.S Kang and Grace Lee are from South Korea and relocated to California.

Danielle has an older brother Alex who plays on the Korn Ferry Tour.

She only started swinging a golf club at the age of 12, and two years later, she had qualified for the US Women’s Open.

Danielle started her secondary education at Oak Park High School in California but later transferred to Westlake High School.

In 2010, she enrolled at Pepperdine University in Malibu. She played on the golf team at Pepperdine until the Spring of 2011, when she became ineligible for selection after turning professional.

During her time at Pepperdine, Kang claimed the 2010 and 2011 U.S Women’s Amateur Open and played in all four Majors in 2011 as an amateur. She impressed at the British Open, where she was the lowest amateur in the field.

After defending her Amateur Open title in 2011, she opted to turn professional. In September of that year, she played in her first event as a Pro at the Walmart NK Arkansas Championship, but unfortunately, she missed the cut.

Kang signed up for LPGA Qualifying school at the back end of 2011, making it through to stage three to earn Conditional Status for the 2012 season. She played in nineteen events in 2012 and made thirteen cuts, finishing 52nd on the overall money list. As a result, she earned a full exemption for the 2013 season.

She struggled to break into the top fifty on the Order of Merit until 2016, when she finished 36th, with three-season top ten finishes.

In 2017, she claimed her first professional victory at the US Women’s PGA Championship. She clung to a one-shot lead to defeat Brooke Henderson and claim a Major title.

2017 was Kang’s first year on tour that she broke the $1 million in a season mark, finishing 17th on the money list. Her form earned her selection to a winning USA Solheim Cup team. The following year Danielle surpassed $3 million in career earnings and finished 11th in income for the season.

In 2019, Danielle notched up eleven top-ten finishes, including a victory at the Buick LPGA Shanghai. She also crossed $5 million in career earnings and finished 9th on the Order Of Merit.

2020 was her best season to date, finishing fourth on the money list and winning back-to-back tournaments.

At the start of 2022, Kang won the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, moving her up the world rankings to eighth.

In 2019, Danielle started the Birdies To Build Better Futures campaign. She partnered with UNICEF, and every time she made a birdie, funds were donated to the campaign to help build a better future for children from developing nations.
