Since her first joining an LPGA Tour event in 2015, Hsu Wei-Ling (徐薇淩) has just completed her tenth season on the leading golf circuit for the women’s game, where the best female golfers in the world gather.

“Ten years is long, but honestly, it just flew by if you ask for my feeling,” Hsu said. The 30-year-old boasts a career title count of six, with two on the LPGA’s second-tier Symetra Tour (now Epson Tour), one on the main LPGA Tour, and three on the Taiwan LPGA Tour, including her Taiwan Mobile Ladies Open triumph this week.

“Seeing a lot of youngsters coming up on the tour, I started to feel a bit ‘old’ now,” Hsu said, with a laugh. “But it’s not necessarily a bad feeling. You’re getting more calm and confident, and you feel like you just know what to do to feel great because you have the trust in yourself, that you just do your best, and everything will kind of fall into place. This mindset gives me the strength to go on without being too hard on myself, like what I did to myself when I was younger.”

The two-time Olympian has earned more than $3 million in prize money on the LPGA Tour. She recorded fifteen career top-10s, and she became the sixth Taiwanese player to lift an LPGA Tour trophy in 2021 at the Pure Silk Championship. Her best finish in an LPGA Tour major has been a T5 at the U.S. Women’s Open in 2018.

2020 Taiwan Mobile Ladies Open champion Chien Pei-Yun (錢珮芸) is also trying to make her mark on the LPGA Tour. She is still in search of her first victory on the elite tour after seven years. “I believe golf is a team sport, not just about me. I’m still trying to build a team that works for all of us,” Chien said. “Everyone’s path is different. I’m not panicking. I still feel as fresh and competitive as ever, working hard on and off the golf course. I hope my time will come very soon.”

23-year-old Lu Hsin-Yu (盧昕妤) is taking a traditional route of earning her way into the LPGA Tour by playing for a U.S. college while building her resume on the LPGA’s developmental Epson Tour. The former Team University of Oregon golfer has two top-10 finishes in eighteen starts this year. She also finished in the top-10 at the TLPGA Tour’s Hitachi Ladies Classic at the start of the year.

“Yeah, I believe by living and playing in the U.S., you get the chance to really learn and fit in the culture here, which will help with my career here,” said Lu, nicknamed Cynthia. “I’m proud that I had some pretty good NCAA results and memories as an Oregon Duck with my teammates. We actually formed a formidable mini Taiwan squad there, with Lin Tze-Han (林子涵) and Chen Ching-Tzu (陳靜慈). Now I know Huang Ting-Hsuan (黃亭瑄) has joined the team. I’m sure she will carry
