Ten career victories, five majors by age 22, money milestones, POY honors and quantifiable uber-consistency... these are some of the highly visible results of Yani's stellar game.
But lets get really superficial and shallow for a minute and talk about the girl's look.
As much as Yani Tseng's distinctive personal style, may not appeal to a Bleacher Report Swagger kind of guy... or to those who swear by FoxSports Incomplete Coverage ... there are lots of us who do appreciate her special fashion sense.
Simplicity, it would seem, is at the base of Yani's sartorial strategy:
• A fitted cap (Adams Golf) and half jacket shades (Oakley)
• Classic tops in bright colors and close fitting bermuda shorts with a destinctive belt (Lacoste)
• Simple solid-colored shoes (Footjoy)
That's pretty much it... the Yani Tseng style playbook. Like her game, Yani's on-course look is consistent... yet it's also very creative because, as she demonstrates week after week, consistency and creativity are not mutually exclusive.
The last really dominant LPGA player was Lorena Ochoa who, like Yanni, is 5'6". The two champions also have Lacoste in common, so it's not surprising to note a few stylistic similarities between them, but it's the details that make the difference, and personality adds that extra something that creates a personal style. Like Lorena Ochoa before her, Yani Tseng has a winning one.

If she can stay injury free it will be an amazing career.
ReplyDeleteThis post about Yani Tseng reminds a lot of the talk going on on the Men's Tour. It seems like both the LPGA and PGA Tour are exeperiencing wave of young talent. And even though I don't agree with many experts that say the young talent is dominating the older players, I do think that the younger players are a lot better these days than they used to be.
ReplyDeleteYani's look is pure Tomboy Style. She dresses menswear-inspired for formal occasions too, all the other girls are wearing ball gowns she'll wear a tux. It's very unique, she owns it. :o)
ReplyDeleteHer role model is Annika so she modeled her swing, and approach to golf after Annika. She even bought her house in Orlando and is starting to fill the huge trophy case in her office once occupied by Annika. It's ashamed the best female golfer in the world can't participate in the Solheim Cup. Fun to watch.
