Former Pioneer golfers Danny Wax and Kimberly Kim have transitioned away from the collegiate greens and now compete amongst the world’s top-tier players as professional golfers.  

In Denver, Wax compiled a myriad of awards and became one of the Sun Belt’s most recognizable male athletes.

A three-time letter winner, Wax earned the distinction of Sun Belt All-Conference twice during his career and led the Pioneers to their first Sun Belt Golf Championship title in 2008.

In his final two seasons, Wax shot a score lower than 70 in 11 rounds, while taking home the team’s MVP award in 2009.

As a professional, Wax has earned a career total of $71,673 and will continue to develop as a rising star in the Denver community.

Kimberly Kim has been an equally successful force on the female pro tour, following her career at the University of Denver.

During her time as a Pioneer, Kim thrived, proving that she was a dominant force by leading the team with an impressive 73.67 round average.

In her senior season, Kim won the Sun Belt Conference tournament by shooting one under par.

Kim’s phenomenal play was awarded with a trip to the NCAA championship tournament, at which she tied for 27th among all female Division 1 golfers.

In addition, Kim was also named to the Curtis Cup team, a prestigious assembly of the country’s best golfers playing together in order to win the cup.

She decided to leave school at the end of the 2009-2010 school year, eschewing her final years of collegiate eligibility.

Both Wax and Kim thrived as Pioneers, helping the men’s and women’s programs to gain national recognition as championship competing teams, and their talent continues to show as they gain recognition in the professional circuit.
