Zhang, who won in her LPGA Tour debut after an exceptional amateur career, made this announcement as The Bay GC maintained their undefeated status in the league. As a Stanford student-athlete and Californian native, Zhang sees this as an opportunity to give back to her community while pursuing her goal of becoming the world's top golfer.
"The Bay Area has become my home and community," Zhang stated. "This investment aligns with my goal to be the best golfer in the world while inspiring the next generation of players, especially youth golfers in California."

The 21-year-old aims to champion diversity in golf and expand access to the sport. Coming from a traditional Chinese household, Zhang believes TGL is effectively showcasing new aspects of golf by highlighting players' personalities and incorporating entertaining elements.
