LILY MUNI is an avid traveller with a superstar F1 boyfriend – but she is also a pro golfer going from strength to strength.

Born in China, Lily was introduced to golf at the age of five by her father.






Her family later moved to Vancouver, Canada before settling in San Diego, California, where Lily honed her skills.

Lily, 24, participated in San Diego and Southern California junior golf tournaments, alongside U.S. Kids' Golf and American Junior Golf Association events.

She attended the University of Southern California for a year before turning pro in December 2017 after success on the amateur circuit.

Victory at the 2015 Polo Junior Classic led Lily to make four starts on the LPGA Tour, where she made the cut at the US Women's Cup in 2015.

Lily also claimed wins at the 2017 Minnesota Invitional, 2018 Prasco Charity Championship and 2019 Q-Series to qualify for the LPGA Tour for 2020.

She began dating F1 star Alex Albon in 2019, while endorsement deals with Nike and Chinese social media platform WeChat have helped to promote her stardom.

Lily has also been able to fund a jet-set lifestyle, often joining Albon at his races across the world.

The pair held hands as they walked around the paddock at last week's Singapore Grand Prix, where Williams driver Albon finished 11th.

The golfer is very active on social media and boasts 669,000 followers on Instagram, where she gives fans an insight into her life and posts snaps of her in action on the green.

Lily also shared photos from a trip she took with Albon to Mallorca, where the couple were able to unwind during the F1 season break.
