She currently sits ninth, while Mimi Rhodes leads the standings, followed by Shannon Tan, Cassandra Alexander, and Sara Kouskova, all of whom will also be in action at HWIO 2025, setting the stage for a thrilling contest. Turning professional earlier this year after finishing 29th at the LET Qualifying School 2024, Huang has already made waves in her rookie season. She earned berths at both the U.S. Women's Open and AIG Women's British Open, and although she missed the cuts, the experience fueled her steady rise through the season. She had a modest start this season but made most of the cuts. She had Top-20 finishes in the Australian Women's Classic and the Joburg Ladies. Following June, her results continued to be steady, with T-17 in the Czech Ladies and T-14 in the Amundi German Masters. However, they took off with the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open, where she tied for seventh for her first career Top-10. She exploded in the next two events, winning the La Sella Championship and the Lacoste Ladies Open de France, and now stands on the threshold of history. She was only the second Canadian to win a LET title. Huang is one of three players to have secured back-to-back wins on the LET in 2025, alongside Mimi Rhodes (Ford Women's NSW Open & Joburg Ladies Open) and Sara Kouskova (Jabra Ladies Open & Tenerife Women's Open). All three will be among the top contenders at the Hero Women's Indian Open in Gurugram next week. Huang, currently ninth on the LET Order of Merit, is also a leading contender for the Rookie of the Year award. A win in HWIO could propel her into contention for the Order of Merit honours with three more events to go after India - the Wistron Ladies Open in Taipei, the Aramco China Championship, and the Andalucia Costa Del Sol Open de Espana. The Hero Women's Indian Open will also host fan engagement activities and golf clinics on the sidelines. Entry is free for spectators, encouraging fans to experience world-class golf up close. Hero MotoCorp continues to be India's most prominent supporter of professional golf, backing marquee global and national tournaments, including the Hero Indian Open (Men's), the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, and the Hero World Challenge, hosted by Tiger Woods. The company also sponsors leading Indian golfers, including Diksha Dagar, Tvesa Malik, and Pranavi Urs, as well as U.S.-based Indian-origin professionals Akshay Bhatia and Sahith Theegala.
