professional
Annie Park turned pro in late 2015 at the age of 20. She earned her LPGA Tour card in 2016 through the qualifying school. Her rookie season on the LPGA Tour was cut short by a back injury that sidelined her for four months. In 2017, she bounced back, placing second at the Cambia Portland Classic and recording four top-10 finishes.
She also won her first professional title at the Symetra Tour Championship on the Symetra Tour. Park got her break on the LPGA Tour in 2018 when she won her first title at the ShopRite LPGA Classic by a shot over Sakura Yokomine. She also placed third at the Meijer LPGA Classic and recorded six top-10 finishes.
Annie was named 2018 LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year. However, she struggled to maintain form in 2019 and 2020, missing several cuts and falling to 217th in the world rankings by the end of 2020. She also suffered from a wrist injury that required surgery in late 2020.
She returned to action in early 2021 but failed to make a lasting impression on either tour.
