In Loving Memory of Corey Yoshimura
Tokyo, Japan
Passed Away: April 20, 2025

It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Corey Yoshimura on April 20th, 2025, in Tokyo, Japan. A beloved husband, a dedicated father to three beautiful children, and a cherished friend to many, Corey leaves behind a legacy of warmth, integrity, and unwavering love that touched countless lives across the globe.

Corey was not only a pillar in his family life but also a dynamic force in the world of sports media, particularly through his impactful work with the PGA TOUR. As a key figure in helping to expand the reach of professional golf throughout Asia, Corey played a pivotal role in building bridges between cultures through the universal language of sport. His efforts contributed to bringing world-class tournaments to new audiences, cultivating local talent, and fostering a vibrant community of golf enthusiasts throughout the region.

Professionally, Corey was known for his sharp insight, collaborative spirit, and innovative vision. Behind the scenes, he worked tirelessly to ensure that the game he loved could flourish beyond its traditional boundaries. Whether it was negotiating broadcasting deals, coordinating events, or supporting local initiatives, Corey approached every project with excellence and heart. His contributions have had a lasting impact, one that will continue to shape the future of golf in Asia for years to come.

But beyond the titles and accolades, Corey will be remembered most for the kind of person he was: gentle, humble, generous, and deeply loyal. His friends often described him as someone who lit up every room he walked into—not through loud words or grand gestures, but through his presence, his sincerity, and his innate kindness. Corey had the rare ability to make people feel truly seen and valued, and that quality made him beloved by all who knew him.

Corey’s family was at the center of his world. He was a devoted husband whose love and respect for his partner were evident in every word and action. As a father, Corey embraced parenthood with passion and care—nurturing, guiding, and inspiring his children with the same strength and gentleness that defined him. He cherished every moment with his family, from the small, quiet joys of everyday life to the grand adventures they shared together.

As we come to terms with this tremendous loss, the community—both in Tokyo and abroad—has come together in an outpouring of love and support for the Yoshimura family. The depth of that response speaks volumes about the impact Corey had on those around him. It is in this spirit of togetherness and compassion that we find comfort, drawing strength from one another as we honor the memory of a truly remarkable human being.

Let us remember Corey Yoshimura not for the way he left us, but for the way he lived: with passion, purpose, and a heart wide open to the world. May his legacy be a guiding light, and may his memory continue to inspire all who knew him.

Corey, your presence will be missed beyond words, but your love will echo forever in the lives you’ve touched.
