Yubin Jang

## **Yubin Jang: Taking his name onto the world stage** Yubin Jang was one of the new faces to join the LIV Golf League for 2025, having dominated the KPGA Korean Tour last season. Jang was the Tour’s 2024 Player of the Year and topped the Order of Merit in a season where he claimed two tournament victories and finished runner-up five times. He is a three-time winner on the Korean Tour, his first success coming as an amateur in 2023 at the Gunsan Open, which he defended successfully as a professional in August 2024. Two months after Gunsan, he took the Busan Open on the first playoff hole against Heemin Chang after both players had finished 9-under after 72 holes. Watching his progress with more than a passing interest was Iron Heads GC captain Kevin Na, who was keen to recruit the exciting prodigy. “As a promising young talent from Korea, I’ve been following his career for years and have had my eye on him to join the team,” Na said. The Iron Heads have a strong East Asia influence, with Jang joining Korean-born Na and Danny Lee, along with Jinichiro Kozuma of Japan. “The Iron Heads needed young talent like his to push our veterans, and I’m confident he has what it takes to become a world-class golfer,” Na added. “Yubin’s presence shows young Korean golfers a clear path to competing globally against the best, and with an event in Korea this year, his addition is a major boost for our team.”
