Chun In-gee (Korean: 전인지, born 10 August 1994), also known as In Gee Chun, is a South Korean professional golfer. She was born in Gunsan, North Jeolla Province. She is a three-time major champion, having won the 2015 U.S. Women's Open,[1] the 2016 Evian Championship with a score of 21 under par, which is the lowest winning score in a major tournament for either men or women,[2] and the 2022 Women's PGA Championship.[3]

In 2015, Chun became the first player in history to win majors on three different tours in the same calendar year. On the KLPGA Tour, she won two majors – the Hite Jinro Championship and the KB Financial Star Championship; on the JLPGA Tour, she also won two majors – the World Ladies Championship Salonpas Cup and the Japan Women's Open Golf Championship; and on the LPGA Tour, she won one major – the U.S. Women's Open. By winning the 2016 Evian Championship, she joined compatriot Se Ri Pak as the only two players in LPGA Tour history to win majors as their first two LPGA Tour titles. Chun represented the Republic of Korea (South Korea) at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
