Former No. 1, two-time major champ ties the knot in gorgeous ceremony

Two-time major winner So Yeon Ryu recently tied the knot in South Korea in a gorgeous ceremony at the luxurious Shilla Hotel.

The former LPGA No. 1 got engaged in April to Matthew Jung, whom she met on a blind date.

"He's actually Korean-American," Ryu told Golfweek in October. "He grew up in the States all the way until when he was 25, I want to say. And then he moved to Korea in 2012. So he's sort of like, when I went to the U.S., he was in Korea. And now he has been living Korea for like 10 years, and then we did a blind date and kind of clicked."

Ryu, 35, retired in 2024 with six LPGA titles, including two majors at the 2011 U.S. Women's Open and 2017 ANA Inspiration, and, along the way, became one of the best interviews on tour.

In retirement, she has dabbled in TV and helped the Korea Golf Association improve its national program. She's also passionate about golf course architecture. When something interesting comes along, she's quick to say "yes" but isn't in a hurry to commit to a full-time job.

In October, Ryu worked as a consultant for Hanwha during the fifth edition of the International Crown. The following week she was in the TV booth announcing at the LPGA's Maybank Championship – in English – for the international feed. A remarkable feat given that as a rookie on the LPGA in 2012, the South Korean often hoped someone would make a putt to clip her early week during tournaments so that she wouldn't be asked to do a post-round interview.

Fellow former No. 1s Inbee Park, Yani Yseng, Shanshan Feng, Jiyai Shin and Ai Miyazato were among those in attendance. Shin, who has released several albums, was slated to perform.

"Love in the air!" wrote Shanshan Feng on Instagram. "Huge congrats to this beautiful couple. And so great to see old friends. Too many No. 1s and major champions in the photos!"

As for golf, Ryu said her husband loves the game. When asked if he's good, she smiled and said, "He wants to be good. Not yet."
