MALIBU, Calif – Pepperdine women's golf rising senior
Jeneath Wong is set to compete in two LPGA major championships later this July.
Wong will be in the field with the top golfers in the world for the Amundi Evian Championship in France from July 10-13 before heading to Wales for the AIG Women's Open from July 31-August 3.
The appearances come as a result of her breakthrough victory at the 2025 Women's Amateur Asia-Pacific Championship (WAAP),
where Wong birdied the final two holes to secure the title with a tournament-record 18-under par performance.
"Winning the Women's Amateur Asia-Pacific was a dream come true and a defining moment in my golf journey," said Wong. "It opened the door to LPGA majors, where playing alongside the world's best was both surreal and inspiring. The experience has deepened my passion and strengthened my game. As I enter my senior year, I'm focused on securing a few more college wins, graduating from university, and preparing to take the next step which is turning professional and pursuing my career in golf."
The win earned her spots in several prestigious events, including The Chevron Championship and the Augusta National Women's Amateur
, where she competed this past spring.
"Jeneath's impressive win, with birdies on the last two holes, at the 2025 Women's Amateur Asia-Pacific, included a number of exemptions," noted head coach
Laurie Gibbs. "She gained valuable experience in April while playing in the 2025 Augusta National Women's Amateur for the second time (2023) and The Chevron Championship, an LPGA major. We are excited for her to play in two more LPGA majors in July, Amundi Evian Championship in France and AIG Women's Open in England. Jeneath will graduate in 3 1/2 years next May with honors. She will be ready to have a great senior year and again be recognized as an All-American."
Wong has been a three-time All-WCC honoree and two-time All-American during her career at Pepperdine, most recently tabbing a third-place finish at the 2025 WCC Championships. Her junior campaign saw her collect four top-10 finishes with a 72.27 scoring average across 30 rounds as she helped the Waves reach their 26th consecutive NCAA regional appearance.
Wong and Pepperdine will return to the collegiate circuit at the Annika Intercollegiate at Royal Golf Club in Lake Elmo, Minnesota on September 8-10.
