Yin Ruoning (born 28 September 2002) is a Chinese professional golfer who plays on the U.S.-based LPGA Tour. At age 20, she won the 2023 Women's PGA Championship becoming the second women's major championship winner from China. Yin rose to number one in the Women's World Golf Rankings in September 2023.
Early life
Yin was born in Kunming, Yunnan province, China. Yin began to learn how to play golf when she was 10 and a half years old. She is known by her nickname Ronni. Her father's hometown is Shanghai.
Amateur career
At 16, she represented the Chinese women's national team at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, where she earned a bronze medal in the women's team event together with Liu Wenbo and Du Mohan. She also represented her country at the 2018 Espirito Santo Trophy, where her team finished fourth among 57 nations, behind United States, Japan and South Korea.
Yin won nine titles as a junior amateur in 2019, including the National Amateur Championship, and reached a career-high of 64th in the World Amateur Golf Rankings.
Professional career
Yin turned professional in 2020. She won the China LPGA Tour Qualifying Tournament and joined the China LPGA Tour, where she won her first three events in a row. She received two Guinness World Records titles, the most consecutive wins on the China LPGA Tour, and the most consecutive wins on the China LPGA Tour from professional debut records.
She finished tied fourth at the LPGA Q-Series to earn a LPGA Tour membership for 2022. In her rookie season, she made just two cuts in her first nine starts, but ended the season with seven cuts in 16 events. She recorded a season-best tie 4th at the Dana Open, having led the event after a first-round 65.
Yin won the 2023 DIO Implant LA Open one stroke ahead of Georgia Hall, becoming the second Chinese winner on the LPGA Tour after Shanshan Feng.
On 25 June 2023, at 20 years of age, Yin captured her first major championship by winning the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club, Springfield, New Jersey, by one shot after making a birdie on the last hole.
In October 2024, Yin achieved her third win of the 2024 season and her fifth championship since 2022 at the Maybank Championship just two weeks after winning the Buick LPGA Shanghai.
