The NXXT Women’s Pro Tour Champion heads to China for an official world-ranking event, reflecting the growing pathway between NXXT, GOLFJOY, and the CLPGA.
Orlando, FL — March 2026
NXXT Women’s Pro Tour Champion Shauna Liu is set to compete this week at the GOLFJOY Women’s Open at Mission Hills on the CLPGA Tour in China, marking another significant step in her development on the international stage.
The event, an official China LPGA Tour competition awarding world ranking points, brings together a global field of professional players and emerging talent. Liu enters the field through a GOLFJOY-supported opportunity, reflecting the growing connection between performance on the NXXT platform and access to international competition.
Liu, a Canadian amateur and Team Canada NextGen standout, earned her breakthrough victory at the NXXT Women’s Championship at LPGA International last season.Her win secured an Epson Tour exemption and further established her as one of the game’s most promising young players.
Now, she takes the next step — competing internationally in a world-ranking event.
“This is exactly what we are building at NXXT,” said Stuart McKinnon, CEO of NXXT Golf. “Shauna’s journey — from winning on our tour to earning opportunities at the next level and now competing globally — demonstrates the strength of our platform and the pathways we are creating for our players.”
“We’re proud to support opportunities like this for players who have earned their moment through performance,” said Larry Wang, Global CEO and Founder of GOLFJOY. “Shauna’s progression from NXXT champion to competing in the GOLFJOY Women’s Open at Mission Hills reflects the kind of pathway we believe in — one that connects talent, opportunity, and the global game.”
The collaboration also extends across NXXT’s season-long competitive platform through the GOLFJOY Player of the Year Race, recognizing performance across the full NXXT Women’s Pro Tour schedule, the NXXT FALDO Junior Tour, NXXTGen Junior Tour, and the NXXT Battle Tour(pro co-ed). The season-long points leader for each of these Tours all earn the title Player of the Year along with a GOLFJOY Spica 3 Launch Monitor, reinforcing GOLFJOY’s commitment to supporting player development through both technology and opportunity.
Through GOLFJOY’s partnership with both NXXT Golf and its role as title sponsor of the Mission Hills event, opportunities like this are becoming a natural extension of competitive success. Together, the partnership highlights how performance, technology, and strategic alignment can expand meaningful opportunities in women’s golf.
The GOLFJOY Women’s Open at Mission Hills runs March 26–28, following a week of preparation, pro-am events, and industry engagement activities supported by GOLFJOY.
Liu’s participation serves as a clear example of the NXXT pathway in action — where strong performance can lead to meaningful opportunities beyond domestic competition.
As the NXXT Women’s Pro Tour season approaches its conclusion, stories like Liu’s continue to reinforce the organization’s mission: creating pathways, elevating performance, and defining the future of women’s professional golf.
