By Gary Van Sickle

No. 1 Ji-Yai Shin LPGA, Korean LPGA

This 20-year-old phenom holds the top spot for the second consecutive year. She won 10 tournaments (and had 10 other top fives) in 30 starts on three tours. She won her first major title, the British Women's Open, and was the first player to sweep all three majors on the Korean tour. Shin also won the LPGA's season- ending ADT Championship and its $1 million first prize. She has 26 victories in her nascent career and will officially join the LPGA in '09.
