As of 2025, Kim Sei-Young’s net worth is estimated to be a staggering $4 million. Sei-Young has amassed this fortune through her vast career as a professional golfer. With over 217 events, Sei-Young has collected a paycheck of $13 million as her career earnings. One of her biggest paydays came in 2019 at the CME Group Tour Championship of a jaw-dropping $1.5 million. However, her earnings have remained steady through the years.
In 2025 alone, Sei-Young has made around $640K, according to the LPGA Tour’s official website. Two of the biggest starts this year in terms of prize money were the ShopRite LPGA Classic ($119K) and the AIG Women’s Open ($145K). Across her other 15 starts, Sei-Young made the cuts in 11 of them and earned a handsome figure throughout the board. Despite not having a single title this year, Sei-Young has had a remarkable financial year. Sitting at T2 in the FM Championship, six shots behind the rising sensation, Miranda Wang, a win here at TPC Boston could result in a lucrative bounty of $615K. However, it is not just the wins on the tour that have contributed to her growing wealth.

Being one of the leading voices of golf in Korea, brands have taken notice. Consequently, these deals have greatly contributed to her net worth. One of her sponsors is assumed to be Titleist. Although there is no official confirmation by either party, Sei-Young’s bag clearly shows a preference. For her short game, the Korean star seems to have Titleist as her go-to. She relies on the Titleist Vokey SM-series for her wedges, especially the SM7 and SM8 models. For her putter, Sei-Young putts with the Scotty Cameron, a sister brand of Titleist under the Acushnet Holdings. Titleist’s website also mentions her as one of the users of the Titleist Pro V1 golf ball.
A peek into her bag also uncovers yet another sponsor, TaylorMade. As one of the leading brands in golfing equipment, the Korean star also seems to place her trust in them. Kim regularly tees off with a TaylorMade M5 driver. For her woods, Sei-Young once again chooses TaylorMade, utilizing the TaylorMade SIM fairway woods and hybrids. Even in key competition wins like the Mediheal Championship, Sei-Young went with TaylorMade for her drivers and woods.
Although no official statements confirm their relationship, it is only natural that Kim Sei-Young’s poise and appeal in the sport have had her calls lined up with these brands. However, Sei-Young’s sponsorships go beyond just the greens.
Kim Sei-Young’s off-course sponsors
Although there are no official records about her present sponsors outside of golf, Kim Sei-Young has had a fair share of such deals in the past. One of the most notable deals has been with the Korean skincare and cosmetic brand Mediheal. First signed in 2021, it was a three-year deal. The brand is also associated with Ryu So-yeon and Lee Da-yeon. However, that deal came after the Mirae Asset chapter.
Starting from her amateur days in 2011, Mirae Asset has been a constant sponsor for the star. However, the 10-year-long brand deal came to an end when the brand decided not to renew its contract with the then No. 2, Kim Sei-Young. This move came as an effort to focus more on ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) initiatives. Although this came as a surprise to many, since the founder, Park Hyeon-joo, himself had a burning passion for golf. Allegedly, he practiced 6 hours a day when he first discovered golf back in the 1990s. However, a shift in focus from the LPGA Tour ended the decade-long commitment.
Kim Sei-Young has proven time and again her place in the LPGA Tour. Not only has that been shown in her career, but it has also been directly reflected in her bank statements and brand deals.
