Although born in Korea, Kevin is now an American citizen, since he emigrated with his family to the USA when he was only eight years old. They settled in southern California, and young Kevin studied at Diamond Bar High School, however, after his junior year he dropped out of school, and began pursuing a career as a golf player.
He firstly started on the Asian Tour, and recorded his first win in 2002 at the Volvo Masters of Asia. He quickly moved to the PGA Tour, and got his playing card first time for the 2004 season.
Although he didn’t have much success winning titles, he was near the podium in many competitive events. He was third at the Southern Farm Bureau Classic, and finished fourth at the Honda Classic in his rookie season. The following year he was just five strokes behind Phil Mickelson at the FBR Open, finishing second, and also finished second at the Chrysler Classic of Tucson. 2006 wasn’t the happiest year since he missed around six months due to a hand injury, however, upon his return he won the Mark Christopher Charity Classic, which is a part of the Web.com tour. After that his results began to decline further, but he rebounded in 2010 when he qualified for the Masters Tournament and the US Open, which was his first participation.
Next year he lifted his first PGA Tour trophy, at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, defeating Nick Watney who needed two more strokes to finish. This certainly increased Kevin’s net worth to a large degree.
In recent years, Kevin had a rather successful 2014 season, since he was second at the Memorial Tournament and Valspar Championship. Furthermore, he finished third at the Frys.com Open, and was just a spot from podium at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. This brought him into the first 20 golfers in earnings of the 2014 season. In 2016 he placed 7th at the US Open, held at Oakmont Country Club, which was his best finish at any major championship. This also increased his net worth.
Regarding his personal life, Kevin resides in the affluent Southern Highlands of Las Vegas, Nevada. Other personal details about Kevin remain unknown in the media – there aren’t even any rumours of romatic relationships.
