Yealimi Noh

Background

Yealimi Noh is an American professional golfer competing on the LPGA Tour. Born in the United States, she emerged from a country with a rich golf tradition that has produced legends like Mickey Wright, Annika Sörenstam, and more recently, Nelly Korda. Noh turned professional as a teenager, bypassing collegiate golf to pursue her career on the tour.

Career Overview

Noh has shown flashes of potential on the LPGA Tour, with her best performances coming in early 2026. She started the year strong with a T17 finish at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, finishing at -1. This was followed by a T38 at the Honda LPGA Thailand, where she carded -8 for the tournament.

Her results have been inconsistent through the early 2026 season, with a T65 at the HSBC Women's World Championship (+7) and missed cuts at the Fortinet Founders Cup (+9) and Ford Championship (-2). These performances indicate she is still working to find consistency at the highest level of women's golf.

Current Status

As of early 2026, Noh remains a developing player on the LPGA Tour. Her game shows promise, particularly in her ability to go low, as evidenced by her -8 performance in Thailand. However, maintaining that level week-to-week remains a challenge. With continued experience and refinement of her game, she has the potential to climb the rankings and contend more regularly.

Noh represents the next generation of American golfers looking to make their mark on the LPGA Tour. Her early 2026 results suggest she's capable of competing with the world's best, though she'll need to improve her consistency to become a regular presence on leaderboards.
