Jin Young Ko wrapped up play at the HSBC Women’s World Championship, and six days later, she walked down the aisle. The 30-year-old recently confirmed the joyful news on Instagram, calling it “the happiest day in my life.”
Ko was slated to compete in this week’s Fortinet Founders Cup, which she has won on three different occasions. She pulled out of the Founders Cup and next week’s Ford Championship, however, with a hand injury.

“I will have some good treatment in Korea,” she wrote on Instagram. “And I hope to see you in Vegas when I’m 100 percent ready.”
