去年十月，「微笑球后」曾雅妮在緯創女子公開賽奪冠，終結了長達 4291 天的冠軍荒。今年，她睽違二十年，重新披上國家隊球衣，出征名古屋亞運；而《enya Fashion Queen》也剛好走過二十個年頭。二十年，說長不長，說短不短，卻是一段誰都無法用捷徑跳過的時間。光輝十月，願每一個仍在人生裡努力的人，繼續往前，持續發光。

Beyond the Smiles
Yani Tseng

Last October, Yani Tseng, affectionately known as the “Smiling Queen of Golf,” won the Wistron Ladies Open, ending a title drought of 4,291 days. This year, she returns to the national team for the first time in twenty years to compete at the Asian Games in Nagoya, just as enya Fashion Queen celebrates its twentieth anniversary. Twenty years can feel both long and short, but they are years no one can take a shortcut through. This glorious October, may everyone still striving in life keep moving forward and continue to shine.

聊起 2025 年十月的緯創女子公開賽，雅妮終結了整整 4291 天的冠軍荒。那十一年裡，同期的對手與朋友不少已離開球場，她卻始終沒有走。「心裡很清楚，自己還沒有回到真正喜歡打球的樣子。」這個念頭，比任何低潮都更難放下。她一次次問自己還能不能贏？也一次次在懷疑裡繼續練習。

今年，她重新站上美國女子公開賽、英國女子公開賽的舞台，也睽違二十年，重新披上國家隊球衣，出征名古屋亞運，距離她和詹世昌選手一起出戰杜哈亞運，已經二十年過去，這次兩人都以職業選手身分歸隊。雅妮也把 2028 年洛杉磯奧運放進計畫裡，那是她顛峰時期始終錯過的舞台。她說，說出這個目標，反而讓自己更敢正視：壓力，有時候也是最誠實的動力。

When Yani speaks about the Wistron Ladies Open in October 2025, she recalls ending a title drought that had lasted 4,291 days. During those eleven years, many of her fellow players and friends had left the game. She stayed.“Deep down, I knew I still hadn’t got back to playing golf with the love I once had for it.”That thought was harder to let go of than any setback. Again and again, she asked herself whether she could still win. And again and again, she kept practising through the doubt.

This year, she returned to the U.S. Women’s Open and the AIG Women’s Open. She is also back in her national team jersey for the Asian Games in Nagoya, twenty years after she and Chan Shih-chang competed at the Doha Asian Games. This time, both return as professional golfers.Yani has also included the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics in her plans. Competing at the Olympics was an opportunity that eluded her during her peak years. She says that voicing this goal has made her more willing to face it head-on. Sometimes, pressure is the most honest motivation.

22 歲那年，雅妮連續 109 週坐在世界第一的位置上，外界看見的是「球后」，她自己卻慢慢活成一個不敢休息的人。把所有時間留在球場，比賽被放大檢視，打不好就等著被批評，她也曾練球練到走火入魔，練到天都暗了，卻不知道自己在做什麼。她曾去問前世界球后，對方說，世界第一是全世界最孤獨的位子。當時的她聽不懂，後來才明白，真正留下來的，永遠只有家人和知己。

低潮最深時，她學打坐、內觀，也寫「幸福存摺」，慢慢學會先看見自己做得好的地方。紀錄片《微笑之後：曾雅妮》跟拍了她五年，把那段最深的低潮與重新奪冠的時刻，都留在鏡頭裡。雅妮說，第一次看就哭了整整一小時，很多畫面她自己都忘了、也不敢回想，是比較少公開的那一面。她也與讀者分享日常的一日菜單：練習前會吃一顆飯糰，兩份主食配一份肉，補充澱粉；練完再補充蛋白質。愛吃火鍋的她，盡量選原型食物、少喝湯，維持健康的日常，也是一種修行。

At 22, Yani was world No. 1, a position she held for 109 consecutive weeks. The world saw the queen of golf; she was slowly becoming someone who did not dare to rest.She gave all her time to golf. Every performance came under scrutiny, and when she played badly, she knew criticism would follow. At times, practice became an obsession. She would keep going until it was dark, no longer knowing what she was doing.She once sought advice from a former world No. 1, who told her that being No. 1 was the loneliest position in the world. She did not understand at the time. Later, she came to realise that the people who stayed by her side were her family and closest friends.

At her lowest, she learned seated meditation and insight meditation. She also kept a “happiness bankbook,” gradually learning to notice what she had done well.Filmed over five years, the documentary Beyond the Smiles: Yani Tseng captures her deepest struggles and the moment she won again. Yani says she cried for a full hour the first time she watched it. There were moments she had forgotten and others she had not dared to revisit. It shows a side of her that she rarely reveals in public.She also shares her daily eating routine with readers. Before practice, she eats a rice ball to fuel up on carbohydrates. Her meals combine two portions of starchy foods with one portion of meat, and she has more protein after practice. She loves hot pot, but tries to choose whole, minimally processed foods and drink less broth. Keeping up healthy daily habits is a practice in itself.

巔峰之後，雅妮也走過一段很長的低潮，花了好幾年，才調整改以左手推桿。這段路走得並不順，但她說，修煉情緒是一生的功課，只要人還活著，就有希望。她想告訴正處在低潮、覺得自己是不是已經來不及的人：「當下不好，真的沒關係。先把自己的情緒和感受放在第一位，愛自己不是自私，你先懂得愛自己，才更懂得怎麼去愛別人。」

她也曾問神拜佛、接受心理諮商，最後發現，真正能陪自己走完這段路的，還是自己；而家人、朋友給她的信任，往往比她相信自己還要多。她說：休息，是為了走得更久，不是放棄。

After her years at the top, Yani went through a prolonged slump. It took her several years to make the transition to putting left-handed. The process was far from easy, but she says learning to manage her emotions is a lifelong task. As long as you are alive, there is hope.To anyone going through a difficult time and wondering whether it is already too late, she wants to say:“It really is okay if things aren’t going well right now. Start by putting how you feel first. Loving yourself isn’t selfish. When you learn to love yourself, you become better able to love others.”

She sought guidance through prayer and worship, and went to counselling. In the end, she realised that she had to be there for herself throughout the journey. Her family and friends, meanwhile, often had more faith in her than she had in herself.“Resting helps you keep going for longer,” she says. “It doesn’t mean giving up.”

這一天與雅妮在台北萬豪酒店的拍攝，起初還下著細雨，忽然之間，陽光探了出來，暖暖地落在鏡頭前。秋日天氣總是瞬息萬變，卻也充滿驚喜。雅妮說：「有一天當你想再看見陽光時，就會有那個勇氣去做。」

如今的她，不再急著用成績定義自己，反而更想把這十年學到的，留給每一個仍在努力的人：情緒可以有起伏，但在下一桿之前，要學會把它收回來。這是曾雅妮給自己、也給每一個仍在等待陽光的人，最真摯的陪伴。

A light rain was falling when we began our shoot with Yani at the Taipei Marriott Hotel. Then, suddenly, the sun came out, its warmth falling gently on her in front of the camera. Autumn weather can change in an instant, but it can also bring surprises.“One day, when you want to see the sun again, you’ll find the courage to take that step,” Yani says.

These days, she is no longer in such a hurry to define herself by her results. Instead, she wants to share what she has learned over the past ten years with everyone who is still trying: your emotions may rise and fall, but before the next shot, you have to learn to regain your composure.These are words of reassurance from Yani, for herself and for everyone still waiting for the sun.
