While Ariya might be enjoying a fantastic career and life today, that wasn’t the case while she was growing up, she had a strict father who regimented her childhood to make her the success she is today. She grew up without friends or a regular childhood.

2. Her sister “Moriya Jutanugarn” is also a professional golfer

One of the things that made Ariya’s childhood bearable was because she had her elder sister of 17 months by her side. Moriya is also a fantastic golfer who recently made it to the World’s top 10.

3. Ariya Jutanugarn is more than just a golfer

Ariya has revealed that one of the things that helped horn her skills is playing golf with her sister. She also finds it nostalgic now that they are grown and it brings about good memories.

5. Is the movie “Pro May: Atchariya Tong Sang” really about her life?

Ariya was initially reluctant to have her story told as she felt that she was too young to be portrayed in a Biopic and wanted to focus on her budding career. She later agreed as it was aimed at inspiring young girls.

She also gave the producers the go-ahead to fictionalize it as they deemed fit but the movie is indeed about her life.

From all indications, Ariya has remained the down-to-earth person that she is all her life. She still fights and bickers with her sister whom she admires and hopes to continue to learn from despite her more successful career.

7. Money isn’t Ariya’s main motivation for playing golf

The amazing golfer once shared in an interview that her income isn’t under her control as she cannot control how other players perform. All she does is to focus on her game, performance, routine, and swing. Her aim is to enjoy every practice session and round of golf she plays.

8. She had a tumultuous relationship with her father

Despite being the one to train and propel her to a successful career in golf, Ariya’s relationship with her father hasn’t been the greatest. He was very strict with the girls and their whole life revolved around practicing and playing so they never enjoyed the carefree side of being children. Even though his method was effective, it has driven a wedge between them as the girls grew older.
