You already know about gorgeous golfers Paige Spiranac and Elise Lobb, but the latest female sensation tearing up the links is New Zealand-raised Shinae Ahn.

The 25-year-old LPGA of Korea Tour star, who apparently goes by Sharon, was born in South Korea, but reportedly moved to New Zealand when she was 9 years old. Now, she's not only crushing the golf game, she's also attracting quite the following on social media.

This is Shinae Ahn, not the golfer the game deserves, but most definitely the one it needs.

Born in South Korea, Shinae Ahn moved to New Zealand when she was 9 and started golfing.

She turned pro with the Korean LPGA Tour in 2009, finishing 21st that year in prize money and taking home Rookie of the Year honors.

The following year, Ahn won her first pro title, the Hidden Valley Women's Open.

The Korean-born golfer finished 2010 with eight top-10 finishes, which placed her third overall on the KLPGA earner's list.

But in 2011, Ahn fell off. She dropped from third to 22nd in KLPGA earnings and had just three top-10 finishes.

However, Ahn was voted Most Fashionable Player on the KLPGA Tour in 2011, and she continued to work hard in order to up her golf game.

While her golf results continued to be inconsistent over the years, Ahn surged in popularity.

Sponsorships with TaylorMade-Adidas soon came, in large part thanks to Shinae Ahn's marketability...

...and with new sponsorships came a host of new social media followers and golf fans.

She may not be on the more prestigious LPGA Tour yet, but Ahn is certainly doing enough to keep her name fresh in the minds of fans everywhere.

Stay on the lookout for this 25-year-old. It may only be a matter of time before she's competing weekly on the greatest women's circuit in golf.
