” My daughter Michelle Liu started with Rob at age 6 and at age 10 Michelle won both the 2017 IMG and US Kids Junior World Championships the same year!
In 2019 at age 12 Michelle became the youngest player in history to compete in an LPGA Tour event. In 2019 at age 12, Michelle became the youngest player in history to win low Canadian at the Canadian Women’s Amateur and also the youngest to ever win the BC Women's Amateur.
Today Michelle is on Team Canada My older daughter Lucy is also coached by Rob. Lucy got to play for Yale University Women’s golf team and graduate from Yale. It is impossible to express the amount of appreciation we have for Rob and the Ivy Golf Academy team.” JENNY XU – LUCY AND MICHELLE’S MOM

Throughout University where he became NCAA Player of the year and world # 1 on the WAGR. We worked together through Canadian Tour and Web.com earning his PGA Tour start. In 2015 he won his first PGA Tour event in his rookie season at the Sanderson Farms. In 2016 Nick moved to Arizona to follow the tour where he continues his great career, winning again in 2020. Our ten years together was a great experience for me to play a role in Nick’s success along with the other members of his support team.

For the past ten years Rob has helped my brother and I develop our games. Recently I was able to qualify for the PGA's Forme Tour! This would not have been possible without the guidance and support Rob gives to me.

Throughout my high-school golf career, Rob was the cornerstone of my success. He is one of the most technically-sound coaches, from putting to full swing. Moreover, Rob is a phenomenal mental coach, a feature that often goes unnoticed. I have always had trouble scoring if my swing went awry, but Rob guided me to overcome the hurdle and helped me score despite the condition of my golf swing. Rob also uses the newest technologies, such as Trackman and Sam Putt Lab, which gives me the feedback I need to improve my game. Thank you, Rob, for helping me get this far, and I wish you success with the academy.

Without Rob and Coach Matt, Angela wouldn’t be the place she is at now. She won multiple junior championships at the provincial, regional, national, and international level. Now she is playing at an Ivy league university team—Dartmouth Women’s team —- while pursuing her academic success. She is recognized as the athlete of the month at Dartmouth after she brought her team to historic record by shooting the lowest three day tournament score in program history. Thanks again to Rob and Ivy Golf Academy. Angela’s Mom

I started getting coached by Rob at age ten and within two years started winning tournaments including the 2012 BC Juvenile. Over the next 8 years I enjoyed a lot of success in AJGA and Canadian events and on my University of Washington team as the lead player. Rob was responsible for helping me get recruited to University of Washington Men’s Golf Team. He has always been there for me and I would encourage anyone with high goals in golf to see him. – Henry Lee
