Yang Hee-young delivered a victory report after a long time. On the 19th (local time), she secured a 3-stroke win (27-under 261) at the CME Group Tour Championship (total prize money $7 million), the final event of the 2023 LPGA Tour season, held at Tiburon Golf Club Gold Course (par 72, 6,556 yards) in Naples, Florida, USA. She tasted the joy of her fifth career win after a long 4 years and 9 months since the Honda LPGA Thailand in February 2019.

Yang Hee-young reached the top at the CME Group Tour Championship equipped with the Callaway Paradigm Triple Diamond driver.

Yang Hee-young showcased precise tee shots in this tournament. Her fairway hit rate over four days was 94.64%. She missed the fairway only twice, demonstrating nearly perfect tee shots. The driver Yang used is Callaway's new product, the Paradym Triple Diamond. It is the same line equipped by world No. 3 Jon Rahm (Spain) and 'super rookie' Rose Zhang (USA).

Yang Hee-young's Paradym Triple Diamond driver has a loft of 10.5 degrees. She paired it with a Graphite Design Tour AD UB 6 S shaft. The Paradym driver is the industry's first to apply a 360 carbon chassis throughout the head by removing titanium. This innovation maximizes both weight reduction and stability. The 360-degree carbon chassis achieves optimal weight distribution to maximize distance.

The Paradym driver adopts the newly AI-designed Jailbreak system. Compared to previous models, it is 33% lighter and provides stability against horizontal and vertical twisting. The newly redesigned face optimizes launch angle and spin, enhancing speed and directionality. Notably, the Paradym Triple Diamond has a 2g weight on the face side. Among Paradym models, it produces the least spin. The head size is only 450cc, tailored to tour players' preferences.
