Sampson Zheng is a rising Chinese pro who primarily plays on the Asian Tour. Following a standout collegiate career at UC Berkeley and a dramatic runner-up finish at the 2023 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, he officially transitioned to the paid ranks midway through 2024.
Zheng made an immediate, massive impact during his rookie season. He showcased his elite potential by securing a tied-fourth finish at the International Series England and a runner-up result at the Mandiri Indonesia Open just months after turning pro. He carried that momentum into his 2025 campaign, continuing to consistently contend on the elevated International Series while achieving a major career milestone by successfully qualifying for the 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush. Comfortably establishing himself inside the top 40 of the season-long Order of Merit, the tri-lingual star is widely regarded as one of China’s most promising young talents as he actively hunts for his maiden professional victory.
