THE ANSWERS WITH... SU-ANN HENG

LIV Golf's on-course commentator shares with us her beliefs, heroes and most treasured possession.

- Hannah Choo

SU-ANN HENG is one Singaporean we can be all proud of. The 34-year-old was once the best golfer in Singapore. She competed at the 2005 SEA Games, turned professional in 2011 and spent a good number of years playing on the Epson Tour before retiring in 2015. Life on the green started early for her (she was nine), and although she no longer plays professionally, golf is still a big part of her life.

The pivot to the small screen proved to be life-changing for her. Fox Sports Asia called about a pundit gig the same year she retired, and the rest is history. She spent close to seven years presenting for Fox and is now the on-course commentator for LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed tour that launched in 2022. She is part of a six-member broadcast team that includes Troy Mullins, a World Long Drive competitor from Los Angeles, and Arlo White, an English sports presenter who made a cameo on Ted Lasso.

What is it like to be you? 

(laughs) I do consider myself a regular human being, who is a parent and has a unique job. In many ways, I have the similar ups and downs, highs and lows as most people. I feel extremely lucky to have found a job I absolutely love, that allows me to be myself, travel, meet people and most importantly be around a sport that’s been a huge part of my life for so long.

How often do you find yourself back in the US? Do you have a favourite city?
