In Gee Chun won’t tee it up at home this week in South Korea at the BMW Ladies Championship. The three-time major champion took a four-week break from her golf clubs after an MRI and X-ray tests showed inflammation in the shoulder area and a diagnosis of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, according to her longtime coach Won Park.
Chun, 28, last competed on the LPGA in August at the CP Women’s Open in Canada. Her last start came in mid-September at the KB Financial Group Star Championship on the KLPGA. In addition to this week’s BMW, Chun missed the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, Ascendant LPGA benefiting Volunteers of America and Mediheal Championship as a result of injury.

Chun won the KPMG Women’s PGA at Congressional in June and lost in a playoff at the AIG Women’s British Open at Muirfield in August. She’s currently ranked No. 7 in the world.
Chun plans to return to the LPGA for the Pelican Women’s Championship in mid-November as well as the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship, where the winner receives $2 million.
