Lilia Vu is the #2 ranked female golfer in the world and recently won her fifth LPGA event at the 2024 Meijer Classic. The 2023 LPGA Tour Player of the Year will represent Team USA in the 2024 Olympic Games. To finish her dominant 2023 season, Vu won her second Major Championship of the year at the 2023 AIG Women’s Open, which resulted in her becoming the #1 ranked player in the world. She became the first American to win two Major Championships in a single season since Juli Inkster did so in 1999. Earlier in the 2023 season, she won the 2023 Chevron Championship and the 2023 Honda LPGA Thailand.
Prior to turning pro, Lilia was the #1 ranked amateur in the world. She was a member of the 2018 Arnold Palmer Cup and USA World Amateur teams and helped lead the 2018 Team USA Curtis Cup team to victory. At UCLA, she won the 2018 PING WGCA Player of the Year, Pac-12 Conference Golfer of the Year, was a Honda Award finalist, three-time WGCA First Team All-American and an All-Pac 12 performer.
Lilia comes from Vietnamese American descent and dedicates her play to her late grandfather who helped her family escape Vietnam in 1982.
