Byeong Hun An’s journey in professional golf has been anything but smooth. He’s experienced the highs of earning his PGA Tour card, the lows of losing it, and the grind of fighting his way back through the Korn Ferry Tour. Just when it seemed like he had regained his footing, another setback hit—a three-month suspension that sidelined him from the PGA Tour. It all stemmed from an innocent mistake. While in Seoul, An purchased a simple cough syrup from a local store, unaware that one of its ingredients was on WADA’s banned substances list.
When a routine doping test flagged the substance, the PGA Tour had no choice but to enforce a suspension, making him ineligible for the FedEx Fall tournaments. By the time he was cleared to return, only the Grant Thornton Invitational remained on the schedule. That meant his first PGA Tour event back was the Sentry, marking his return to competitive golf after the BMW Championship in August 2023. But through all the ups and downs, one person has been by his side through it all. His wife. She has been his rock, his unwavering support system, and a constant source of strength. Here’s everything you need to know about Jamie Hee-Jae.
When did Byeong Hun An get married?
The couple’s love story took a beautiful turn in 2017 when they got engaged, followed by a stunning wedding in 2018 at the Shilla Hotels and Resorts in Seoul. On December 9, 2018, An Byeong Hun shared a picture from their marriage and was ever grateful to have tied the knot to the love of his life.
In the caption, he wrote, “It has been a very stressful day Thank you to all the guests who took their precious time to come even in the cold weather. We will live happily ever after. The most nerve-racking moment of my life… Jamie and I are going to live happily-ever-after.” Since then, Jamie Hee-Jae An has been a constant source of support for her husband, always finding small yet meaningful ways to show her love.
One of the sweetest examples of this was in the early days of his professional career when she would carefully iron his shirts, hoping he’d look sharp if he ever got airtime on TV. Her admiration for him goes beyond just his skills on the course. Speaking about her husband, she once shared, “He’s the kindest person, and he has a great sense of humor. It’s a bit on the cynical side, but outside of golf, he’s incredibly funny—almost childlike, just like most men.”
