Yin Ruoning becomes women’s golf world No. 1

Amundi Asia Team was formed last year, following the establishment of Amundi Europe and US teams, to support female athletes in a region in which Amundi has a strong presence. By partnering with rising young women golfers, Amundi is pleased to help them unveil their potential further. As of today, the Program sponsors 15 players from China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, and the USA.

Valerie Baudson, Chief Executive Officer at Amundi said:

I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to Ruoning on becoming world number one.  Amundi is proud to support her and to have her in the Amundi Asia Golf Team. Ruoning’s outstanding achievement demonstrates how women are shining in the world of sport. It is also a concrete example of how the Amundi Women Talent Program can unlock young women players’ potential and help them emerge on the international golf scene.  This bears witness to Amundi’s strong commitment to promoting diversity and equality.

Yin Ruoning said:

As a young women golfer, my dream has always been to become world no.1.  I am grateful to be a member of Amundi Women Talent Program and to have been able to count on the support of Amundi during this journey.

Amundi has been involved in golf sponsorship since 2011 and increased its commitment in 2021 by becoming the title partner of the women's golf major, The Amundi Evian Championship for a period of five years.
