The Yani Tseng Story

A 4.25-inch destination, a lifelong passion, and an endless journey of self-discovery.

After winning four Majors, 15 LPGA titles, and spending 109 weeks ranked number one in the world, TSENG Ya-ni has failed to win a title since 2013 and slid to number 650 in the rankings. The “Smiling Queen of Golf” has lost her trademark smile, as well as the drive and passion in her swings. Taking a full year off from competing, she sets out on a journey of self-discovery. She takes on a new mental training regimen and begins a process to confront her past through dialogue with her mental coaches, trainers, her father, and most importantly, herself. “I have to be okay with not getting back to No. 1,” she realizes. With years of trials and tribulations and this new understanding, she embarks on a comeback trail in 2021 with a natural grace and restored hope.
