According to the women's golf weekly world rankings announced on June 16 (local time), Choi received 2.91 points, moving up four spots from 29th last week.

Since debuting on the LPGA Tour in 2022, she had hoped to claim her first victory trophy after 88 tournaments, but had to settle for the runner-up finish.
