Bang collapsed on August 1 and later underwent emergency brain surgery at Synphat Ramintra Hospital.<!-- --> She was placed on life support but died at 7:20 a.m. local time on Thursday, August 13, according to her cousins.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"3\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Who was Jessica Bang, the Australian golf star?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Jessica Bang was a young Australian golfer who had started building a professional career before her sudden death. According to her cousins, she qualified earlier this year to begin her rookie season with the WPGA\/KLPGA. She had reportedly started playing professionally in 2025 and was preparing for another important step in her career when she suffered the brain hemorrhage.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Bang was in Thailand for the KLPGA Tour\u2019s International Qualifying Tournament. Her plans changed when she collapsed on August 1. She was rushed to Synphat Ramintra Hospital in Bangkok, where she needed emergency surgery.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Her condition remained serious after the operation, and she was placed on life support. Her cousins later started a GoFundMe campaign as the family hoped to bring her back to Australia. The fundraiser had collected nearly 36,000 Australian dollars at the time of the latest update.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Bang\u2019s cousins confirmed her death in an update on the fundraising page. They said they wanted people to remember her not only for what happened in Thailand but also for her personality and love for golf.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>\u201cWe are truly heartbroken by this news. However, we would like to continue to remember Jessica and celebrate her achievements, passion, and dedication to golf,\u201d they wrote.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>They also described Bang as someone with a cheerful and vibrant personality and said her sense of humor would always be remembered by the family.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>What did the WPGA Tour say about Jessica Bang\u2019s death?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The WPGA Tour of Australasia also paid tribute to Bang after news of her death. The organization said the Australian golf community was thinking of her family, friends and everyone who knew her.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Bang\u2019s family said the money raised through the GoFundMe campaign will be given to her parents to help cover her medical expenses. They also thanked everyone who supported the family during her treatment.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>Her death came just as she was starting to take the next step in her golf career. At only 18, Bang had already qualified for the WPGA\/KLPGA rookie season and was pursuing opportunities outside Australia.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>The fundraiser now stands as a way for those who followed Bang\u2019s story to support her family while also remembering the young golfer and the career she had only just begun.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/international-sports\/who-was-jessica-bang-rising-golf-star-dies-at-18-after-brain-hemorrhage\/articleshow\/133217890.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who was Jessica Bang?
