With 893 total points entering the CME Group
Tour Championship, she holds an insurmountable 274-point lead
over Grace Kim of Australia.
"I'm honored to earn the Rookie of the Year award and add my
name to the prestigious list of winners before me. This year has
been a memorable one, and I'm proud of what I've been able to
accomplish on the LPGA Tour," Ryu said in a news release. "I'm
forever grateful to my team and fans for their support over my
first season, and I can't wait to close out the year at the CME
Group Tour Championship."
Ryu is the sixth player from South Korea to earn the honor since
2015, the first since Jeongeun Lee in 2019.
Ryu recorded her first LPGA Tour victory at the Walmart NW
Arkansas Championship in September. She has five other top-10
finishes and enters the season's final week ranked second in
greens in regulation (75.7 percent) and third in birdies (314).
She has earned more than $1.5 million this season.
Ryu will receive her Rookie of the Year award at the 2023 Rolex
LPGA Awards ceremony on Thursday in Naples, Fla.
