In 2015, Inge Jeon was recognized for her contribution to establishing the ‘Inji Jeon Lancaster Country Club Scholarship Foundation’.

At the time, Jeon In-ji won the US Women’s Open at the Lancaster Country Club in Pennsylvania, USA, and she donated $10,000, saying, “I want to give back to the community.”

In 2016 and 2018, she donated 100 million won each to her alma mater, Korea University.

Salas and Stackhouse have been engaged in various social contribution activities as descendants of Mexican immigrants and African Americans, respectively.

Fan voting to determine the final winner will be held from the 21st to the 6th of next month. The winner announcement date is March 8, International Women’s Day.

Winners are given the honor of determining where to donate $100,000 of Velocity Global’s fund. The two eliminated players each donate $25,000 in the same way.
