MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State women's golf coach Stew Burke announced Wednesday the signing of Yung-Jen Wang, who will join the Wildcats for the 2027-28 season.
A native of New Taipei, Taiwan, Wang has ranked as high at No. 912 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR) thanks to three WAGR victories this season.
"We are delighted to have Yung-Jen join us next fall," Burke said. "She impressed us right from the beginning in the recruiting process. She has continued to compete in numerous tournaments throughout the world and posted good scores. She is really taking time to develop her game. It was fun to watch the work that she put in really pay off and elevate her to a different level from when we recruited her. Her experience of competition and competing worldwide will translate well to college golf. She is quick to listen, inquisitive and keen to learn, all of which will make her very coachable and raise her ceiling for when she comes to college."
Wang signs with the Wildcats in the midst of an outstanding 2026 on the junior circuit. She finished third at the C.T. Pan Junior Championship with a three-round total of 214 (71-74-69) and tied for sixth in the Uswing Mojing Junior World Championship with a 54-hole score of 213 (71-70-72). A member of the Taiwan National Team, Wang also finished in the top 10 of the National Summer Tournament (6th), National Fall Tournament (7th) and National Senior High Championship (9th).
Kansas State begins its fall slate February 8-9 when the Wildcats compete in the Arizona Thunderbird Intercollegiate Hosted by Lorena Ochoa at Tucson Country Club in Tucson, Arizona.
