Jul 23, 2026 (Orlando, FL)

Li Jiahang, a rising star in the world of junior golf, has just won the 2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational Junior only one month after qualifying for the tournament at the Junior Charity Classic in Shanghai.

Both the Junior Charity Classic qualifier in Shanghai and the Arnold Palmer Invitational Junior (API Jr.) in Orlando were supported in part by the CJ Wang Foundation and presented by the foundation’s head of golf initiatives, Janet Xiyu Lin.

Li finished 4 under par to capture the win at theAPI Jr. in just her first AJGA tournament, against 78 top junior golfers from around the world.

“I’m so proud of Jiahang. Aspiring young golfers like her have such talent, and in part because of the tournaments we are hosting, she was able to come from China and compete here and shine very quickly. This is a dream scenario, and it happened in our first year of supporting these tournaments.” — Janet Xiyu Lin
