With a wry smile, Lim lamented that she has not played much golf since then, let alone competitively. theSun theSundaily legend comeback LocalNews
: Malaysian golf legend Lim Siew Ai has set her sights on a competitive comeback next year, with her main target being the 2025 US Senior Women’s Open at San Diego Country Club in California.
Following a stellar amateur career which include U.S. collegiate golf with the University of South Carolina, Lim turned professional in 1996 and set out on a ground-breaking career that saw her become the first Malaysian to compete successfully on the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour. She played on the world’s leading ladies’ circuit for 10 seasons from 1999 to 2008, with her best finish being joint second at the 2004 Kellogg-Keebler Classic.
The roadmap for Lim’s competitive comeback is steadily taking shape. She is eligible to compete on the LPGA’s senior circuit, the Legends of the LPGA Tour, which is for golfers aged 45 and above. However, Lim will have to wait until she turns 50 next October 1st to be able to play in the US Senior Women’s Open, which explains why her target is the seventh edition at San Diego Country Club on Aug 21-24, 2025.
The immediate goal for Lim is to get her body back in tune for the rigours of competitive golf. To this end, she is working with Breakfree Movement, a ground-breaking natural movement fitness facility based at Jaya One in Petaling Jaya. Lim noted that the return of the LPGA Tour to Malaysia with the US$3 million Maybank Championship at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club this October will be a huge boost for the game here.
