Golf prodigy Guan Tianlang received the Star of Hope award at an annual ceremony called You Bring Charm to the World—Chinese Influencing the World on March 29. The event was launched in 2006 by Phoenix TV to honor outstanding Chinese individuals and is jointly sponsored by a dozen of Chinese media organizations.

Born in October 1998, Guan qualified for the 2013 Masters Tournament when he won the 2012 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship in Thailand. On April 12, 2013, at 14 years and 5 months of age, he became the youngest player to make the cut in PGA Tour history.
