Rose Zhang talks about the Tiger Woods comparisons and the best advice she's received on the LPGA Tour. It’s not often a young professional golfer gets to hear their name in the same breath as Tiger Woods – but Rose Zhang isn’t an ordinary golfer.
Zhang is a rising star on the LPGA Tour and quickly made an impact on the circuit as soon as she left the amateur ranks. At Stanford, Zhang was stellar.
She was a two-time NCAA champion, a Pac-12 Conference champion and won the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. Zhang had 12 wins in 20 starts for the Cardinal, besting Woods’ record – he had 11 victories in 26 appearances.
When Zhang became the first golfer to win in her LPGA Tour debut since Beverly Hanson in 1951, Woods gave Zhang a shout-out on X, the social media company formerly known as Twitter.
