Early life and amateur career
Born in Busan, South Korea, Oh moved to Australia at the age of eight and has played golf since the age of nine.[1]
In 2009, at 12, she was the youngest player to ever qualify for the Women's Australian Open.[2] She finished tied for second at the 2013 Australian Ladies Masters, a tournament on the ALPG Tour and Ladies European Tour.[3]
Oh was a member of the Australian National Team and won the 2014 Espirito Santo Trophy at the World Amateur Team Championship in Japan with Shelly Shin and Minjee Lee.[4]
Professional career
Oh turned professional in the fall of 2014.[5] She finished second in her professional debut at the 2015 Oates Victorian Open, then a week later won her second start as a professional, the 2015 Volvik RACV Ladies Masters in Australia. The win earned her a two-year exemption on the Ladies European Tour.
Oh made it to the final stage of the 2014 LPGA Qualifying School, but failed to earn a full LPGA Tour card, leaving her with eligibility on the developmental Symetra Tour. She joined the LPGA Tour in 2016, and over the next eight seasons recorded runner-up finishes at the 2016 Kingsmill Championship, the 2019 ISPS Handa Vic Open, the 2019 Meijer LPGA Classic, and the 2021 Cambia Portland Classic.[3] In 2019, she finished a career-high 33rd in the season rankings.[6]
After a tie for 8th at the 2016 KPMG Women's PGA Championship she rose to a career-high 40th in the Women's World Golf Rankings, which helped her qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics alongside Minjee Lee.[3]
In 2022, Oh won the Australian WPGA Championship by 4 strokes at Royal Queensland Golf Club, and in 2025 she won the Women's Victorian Open at 13th Beach Golf Links.[7]
