Who Is CT Pan’s Wife? All You Need To Know About the Backbone of His Personal and Professional Life
The tables at the ongoing RBC Canadian Open have turned all of a sudden. The leader board which until yesterday was seeing names like Tyrrell Hatton leading, after its third round on Saturday saw Taiwanese golfer Pan Cheng-Tsung climbing the top of the ladder with back-to-back birdies.
Following him in the second position in a tie are Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, and two others. As C.T. Pan delivers this unexpected performance at the RBC, let’s learn about his wife who has played a major role in his success, and she has also joined him on the course many times as his caddie!
Ying Chun is currently a research scientist at Child Trends. She researches upon “the factors that affect low-income children’s access to high-quality early care and education.” Prior to that she was a Postdoctoral Associate at the Social Science Research Institute at Duke University, and has also been a Graduate Research Fellow at the University of Wisconsin. Ying is also a dedicated partner who has been a constant source of support in Pan’s life throughout his golfing career. Both on and off course, she takes her job very seriously and at times plays the role of a friend and guide to her husband. She has toured with him around the world for a long time now. The couple got married in December 2016.
After their marriage, Ying took a very important responsibility on her shoulders of being Pan’s caddie: a task earlier performed by Pan’s father before he passed away in 2010. She caddied for him at the 2018 Wyndham Championship, which he jokingly called the “trial of their marriage”. Lady luck favored him as he played a fantastic game and tied for second place leaving behind players like Jim Furyk and Sergio Garcia. The couple also took home the prize of $528,000. She has also been his caddie at the RBC Heritage 2020 and at the 2021 Olympics and many more events.
