Golfer
The golfer who became the youngest player ever to win five major championships
Yani Tseng is a professional golfer on the LPGA tours and the youngest player ever, male or female, to win five major championships. Despite being advised to retire after two hip surgeries and a prolonged slump, the former world number one refused to give up. She spent years working through the yips, eventually switching to a left-handed putting grip, and in 2025 won the Wistron Ladies Open—her first title in 11 years. In 2026, she received a special invitation to the US Women's Open, giving her a chance to compete again on the sport's grandest stage.
Facing both physical and mental challenges throughout this period, Yani Tseng has learned to stop measuring herself solely by results, choosing instead to stay present in each shot. As she continues building momentum on the international tour, a personal documentary filmed over five years is expected to be released by the end of the year. She hopes that sharing the honest arc of her journey—from the pinnacle of the sport to its lowest points and back again—will give others the courage to keep moving forward.
