Japan Golf Tour Asian Tour OneAsia Tour Wu Ashun (born 22 June 1985) is a Chinese professional golfer. He has won four times on the European Tour and twice on the Japan Golf Tour. He became the first Chinese golfer to win multiple titles on the European Tour with his win at the 2016 Lyoness Open.
Professional career
Wu played on the Asian Tour in 2008 and 2009. His best finish was a tie for fourth place at the 2009 Singha Thailand Open.
Wu played on the Japan Golf Tour in 2010 and from 2012 to 2015. He won his first title in September 2012, at the Toshin Golf Tournament in Ryosen. He was the first golfer from China to win on the Japan Golf Tour.
Wu played on the OneAsia Tour in 2011, finishing 19th on the Order of Merit for that season.
In 2013, Wu won for the second time on the Japan Golf Tour, with a one-stroke victory at the Heiwa PGM Championship.
In April 2015, Wu won the Volvo China Open on the European Tour. He made history as he became the first Chinese player to win a European Tour event on home soil.
Since 2016, Wu has played primarily on the European Tour. In 2016, he won the Lyoness Open and in 2018, he had a third European Tour win, in the KLM Open, which made him the first Chinese player to win three times on the European Tour.
In March 2022, Wu picked up his fourth European Tour victory at the Magical Kenya Open. A final-round 65 saw him beat Aaron Cockerill, Thriston Lawrence and Hurly Long by four shots.
In April 2025, Wu won the Volvo China Open for the second time in his career and his fifth European Tour win. The win came six days short of 10 years since his maiden triumph, which came at the same event in 2015.
