LPGA announce global ambassadors ft. Rose Zhang and Angel Yin; Nelly Korda and Charley Hull not on list
The LPGA Tour announced its global ambassadors to help grow the game, but it didn’t choose Charley Hull or Nelly Korda.
Two of the most prominent golfers on tour, including the Rolex World No. 1 golfer, were passed on in favor of Angel Yin, Gaby Lopez, Rose Zhang, Madelene Sagstrom and Sarah Schmelzel.
Zhang finds herself ranked 14th on the Rolex Rankings. Yin is 20th. Sagstrom is ranked 59th in the world. Schmelzel is ranked 69th among all LPGA Tour golfers, while Lopez comes in 75th.
Despite not having two of the biggest names attached to women’s golf, Nancy Henderson, the LPGA foundation’s president, said that they were thrilled to get these players involved via the Tour website:
“We are thrilled to welcome our new brand ambassadors to LPGA*USGA Girls Golf. Their commitment to the game and passion for inspiring young girls perfectly align with the LPGA Foundation’s mission to transform lives through golf.
“We are confident each of these LPGA Tour players will serve as strong role models, carrying forward the impact and legacy established by our past ambassadors. With their support, we will strive to reach the next one million girls.”
They replace Stacy Lewis, Brittany Lincicome, Lizette Salas, Mariah Stackhouse and Lexi Thompson as this year’s ambassadors. The Tour selected them because each embody one of the five things they instill in women’s golf: Empower, Enrich, Engage, Exercise and Energize.
Seven times in 2024, Nelly Korda was a winner. In her first chance to continue her dominance, she fell just short. The American came second to A-Lim Kim in the HGV Tournament of Champions over the weekend.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
