Lilia Kha-Tu Du Vu (born October 14, 1997) is an American professional golfer and LPGA Tour player. She has won eight professional titles, including two majors, with those victories coming at the 2023 Chevron Championship and the 2023 Women's British Open. She was the 2023 LPGA Player of the Year, and has represented her country at two Solheim Cups, winning in 2024.
The daughter of first-generation Vietnamese immigrants, she enrolled at UCLA in 2015, where she went on to rank number one on the all-time UCLA career victories list with eight wins. She reached number one in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, and was on the winning Curtis Cup team in 2018. She first joined the LPGA Tour as a professional in 2019, but dropped off the tour at the end of the year and played on the Symetra Tour instead. She claimed her first three professional victories on the Symetra Tour in 2021 and rejoined the LPGA Tour for 2022. In 2023, she won four titles on the LPGA Tour, including her two major successes, and reached number one in the Women's World Golf Rankings for the first time in August. She won her fifth LPGA Title at the Meijer LPGA Classic in 2024 and also competed in the Summer Olympics that same year.
