I think representation is so important”, said Cheyenne while referring to all the women and girls she plays golf with. While her uncle Tiger may be undergoing legal trouble after his breakup with Erica Herman, the LPGA star’s words brought positivity around the females in the sport. She added, “When I’m out there on the golf course, I keep that in mind, we’re (women) always breaking barriers, and really proud to say I’m part of that”.

The Woods family is known to break barriers in the sport. Her uncle Tiger Woods has several records in the sport to his name. Cheyenne too joined an exclusive club, becoming only the sixth African American female golfer to earn the LPGA Tour card in 2015. However, she didn’t take credit for herself. Instead, shared it with her fellow female golfers on the occasion of International Women’s Day.

Reflecting on Cheyenne’s words on breaking barriers, LPGA stars have proved to provide equally competitive golf as the PGA Tour in recent years. With the arrival of golfers such as Lydia Ko, Nelly Korda, and Lexi Thompson to name a few, the competition has only become more fierce. Perhaps, it is only the beginning of the LPGA Tour before they take over the golfing world.
