‘Groups and Groups of Them’: Danielle Kang at the Tour of Champions Excitedly Announces the Best Part of Her Off-Season Trip in Kenya

The life of an athlete is extremely strenuous. It is not often that they get time off to do what they love and relax. As a result, they regard off-season time as extremely valuable. They can be found doing exciting things and relaxing. The defending champion of the Tournament of Champions, Danielle Kang, spent her off-season on a safari in Kenya, owing to her love for animals.

Kang turned pro in 2012 and has since made her way to the top 20 in the world. With six tour victories and one major, she is certainly a force to be reckoned with.

Her time in Kenya was more than fruitful for Kang. The golf pro saw multiple animals. Elephants areher personal favorite. “I love elephants,” she said in an interview at Lake Nona, where the Tour of Champions is being held. “I experienced a family of elephants consecutively for about an hour.”

“They never disappointed me,” said the six-time LPGA Tour winner excitedly. “I just saw groups and groups of them, and it was wonderful.” She stated that every time she wanted to see an animal, there was always an elephant for her to see. The major winner added that she also saw giraffes, who were everywhere, “like dogs.”

Kang saw lions on her safari too. And even witnessed one kill and eat a zebra. She also saw a lion, who she claimed looked like Mufasa, the villain of the famous Disney movie, The Lion King. Seeing it, she hilariously said to the driver, “Can we please get out of here because I think it’s going to jump on us?” Overall, the golf pro enjoyed her trip with nature.

How good a chance does Kang have at defending the TOC title?

The American golfer is undoubtedly one of the best golfers currently on the Tour. She ranks 16th in the women’s global ranking. Despite being one of the favorites to win the event, her work is definitely cut out for her.

Kang is up against 28 other LPGA Champions this week. Among them are world No. 2 Nelly Korda and others. Six of the current top-ten women’s rankings won’t be playing in the event, including Lydia Ko, yet the field is quite competitive. With the $1.5 million purse being one of the smallest total purses on the tour, the players are certainly more focused on claiming the title and the honor that comes with it.
