Twenty-year-old Rose Zhang is on the verge of golf superstardom. The college student has already set an impressive list of records; she beat Tiger Woods’ record at Stanford, won two consecutive NCAA titles, became the first woman in 70 years to win her first professional golf tournament, and is the most awarded amateur golf female player in history. Zhang’s passion and unwavering commitment to mastering the sport has earned her comparisons to Tiger Woods and Mozart—all experts in their chosen fields. And while she’s far from the first Gen Z athlete being compared to the best in their sport, she marks off another league being swept by the young gen. YPulse has long said brands have a great opportunity to connect with young consumers through collaborations with athletes their own age—and each new MVP-to-be is an influencer waiting to happen.
