Ayaka Furue Early Life Bio

Ayaka Furue1

Ayaka comes from Kobe in Japan.

She started playing golf when she was only 3 years old and both her parents loved the game. Her father Yoshihiro played a major role in her golf career from an early age.

He was an excellent player himself and was her coach in the early years.

As a girl she attended Kobe Municipal Nagata Junior High School and as a teen she managed various golf victories:

2012 Kansai Elementary School Golf Championship
2014 and 2015 Kansai Junior High School Golf Championship
2015 National Junior High School Championship
2016 Kansai High School Golf Championship

Ayaka’s Career and Achievements

At a very early stage in her life, she already managed to play golf of such a high standard that she gained entry to a Japan Women’s Open Golf event in 2016.

She didn’t win, but attained 28th place among the great, older players she competed against. And she was only 16 years old!

Throughout her teenage years she continued to amaze crowds, managing to get a spot on the Japan National Team for the 2017 – 2018 period.

This group beat the competition at the Junior Golf World Cup in 2018, while Ayaka also performed well as an individual, claiming fourth place.

Another highlight in 2018 was the Asian Games where she ended fifth.

Despite her impressive start, she still probably surprised fellow players when she won the Fujitsu Ladies event in 2019, as she was still only an amateur.

Ayaka then managed to turn professional in 2019 shortly after this victory.

In 2020 Ayaka represented her country at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

During her professional career she played for the LPGA of Japan Tour as well as the LPGA. In the Japan tour she managed multiple victories:

2020 wins: Descente Ladies Tokai Classic, Ito En Ladies Golf Tournament, Daio Paper Elleair Ladies Open
2021 wins: Fujitsu Ladies, Nobuta Group Masters GC Ladies, Toto Japan Classic

In 2022 she could participate in the LPGA thanks to her performance in qualifying school. In terms of LPGA majors, over the past 2 years Ayuka has played in:

Chevron Championship
Women’s PGA
US Women’s Open
Evian Championship
Women’s British Open

She quickly showed her value as player, especially in July 2022 when she took the title of Trust Golf Women’s Scottish Open winner.

It’s worth noting that during this Scottish Open, she managed to play a record for the course, namely 10 under par, during the last round.

This helped her win by a full three strokes, even though she was trailing the other leaders for a while.

So far, Ayaka has not given the world any sign that she has a boyfriend or special person in her life.

She doesn’t hint at it on social media and although images show that she enjoys having fun with other players and friends, it seems that she is staying focused on her golfing for the time being.

Ayaka Furue’s Net Worth, Prize Money and Sponsors

Winning a major event like the Scottish Open earns a player a large amount—in this case it was $300,000.

Even just achieving a T6 at the US Women’s Open led to official payments of over $360,000.

Because Ayaka has managed to make the cut in so many of the major events over the past few years, she has created many opportunities for herself to earn big.

In recent months, for only the 2023 year to date, LPGA statistics already show her earnings to be well over $1 million.

Apart from prize money, Ayaka also earns through sponsorships. These include Mizuno Corporation and certain sources state that she gets endorsements from Nike, Rolex and Omega.

On her social media profiles she shows her connection with still more brands, including Bridgestone. You’ll also see her promoting a clothing brand, Viva Heart.

Taking prize money and endorsements into consideration, Ayaka’s current fortune is rumored to be in the range of $5 million.

Ayaka Furue—the Social Media Influencer

You’ll be able to join over 55,000 other followers of Ayaka’s Instagram account.

You’ll see some cute selfies and many golf related posts. It’s also clear form images and her bio description that Ayaka loves the Disney brand!

Although there is a Facebook account, it’s outdated and there’s no confirmation that it once belonged to the golfer.

Twitter is another platform where Ayaka shares information, although she only has 8,500 followers on her profile currently. Again, you’ll see how much she adores Disney! Look for the handle @kodebuchanayaka.

Interesting Facts

Apart from golf Ayaka also showed exceptional skill as a swimmer and apparently she has a flair for languages. According to sources, this golfer can speak three languages fluently: English, Japanese and Korean.
