The 24-year-old from Hawaii, who turned professional at the age of 16 and has two Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour wins to her name, is set to feature in a series of exclusive videos explaining to aspiring young golfers what it takes to make it at the top-level of the game and offering advice to future players, ahead of golf's debut at the the Youth Olympics next year.

"I feel so honoured to be part of the Youth Olympic Games," said the Stanford University graduate, who, at aged 10, became the youngest player to qualify for a United States Golf Association tournament in 2000.

"I'm hoping to teach young people to have fun with their game, to be competitive, to really want something and to realise the importance of having a dream.

"I think it's really important to inspire young people to take up sport; it's important to be active and be outdoors.

"I remember my childhood, playing different sports and rarely being indoors."
