Doug Ghim’s girlfriend, Kelly Xac, is a former athlete turned tax consultant. The golf couple shares the same passion for the sport that has seen Doug receive international fame.
Kelly Xac, the beautiful girlfriend of the American golfer, is a tax consultant for the Big 4 Firm. But at one point, she might have contemplated a career in golf.
The 28-year-old, Nevada-born and raised Doug Ghim has done his best to keep his relationship with Kelly under wraps.
But even he couldn’t help but flaunt his girlfriend on Instagram on her 25th birthday.
Doug Ghim has been searching for his first career win since turning pro in 2018. Ghim hasn’t had the best start to his 2023 season.
But the upcoming AT&T Byron Nelson tournament serves him the perfect opportunity to prove his worth.
The other few names joining Doug in the AT&T Tournament will be 19th-ranked Tom Kim and 17th-ranked English golfer Tyrrell Hatton.
Doug Ghim Girlfriend, Kelly Xac, Is A CPA License Holder
Doug Ghim’s girlfriend, Kelly Xac, is a certified public accountant securing her license in November 2022.
Kelly graduated from The University of Texas at Austin in 2021, earning her master’s degree in business administration.
During her time at The University of Texas in 2017, Kelly was part of the student exchange program for a month.
With other students of The University of Texas, Kelly completed six hours of business courses at The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
After returning from CUHK, Kelly became one of the Peer Advisors at the University of Texas.
A year before graduation, Kelly joined the “Big 4 Firm,” Deloitte as a tax intern and started working for the firm as a tax consultant in 2021.
Xac and her academic talent were there to see from her high school days. At Tuloso-Midway High School, Kelly was the valedictorian from the class of 2016.
Kelly Shares The Same Passion For Golf
Along with finding academic success at Austin, Kelly made sure to keep herself active in the sporting scene.
While still in high school, Kelly became All-South Texas MVP and set a Golf Club of Texas course record. She was also the UIL Region IV-5A Champion in 2016 and 2014.
She pursued her passion for golf in Austin and was part of the UT Women’s Golf team. Kelly played for three seasons in Texas, competing in five events.
Due to her academic commitments, it looks like she might not have had the chance to pursue golf more seriously than she did in high school.
Nevertheless, Kelly got the chance to represent the famous colors of the Texas Longhorns.
One of her best performances came in her senior year at the White Sands Invitational, in which she finished in 72nd position with a three-round total of 229.
Moreover, Kelly was named to the Big 12 Academic Honor Roll list and was an active member of the honors business association.
Doug And Kelly Relationship Timeline
Doug Ghim and his girlfriend, Kelly Xac, aren’t the most active social media users. And because of that reason, they only have given a slight peek at their relationship.
Though Doug might have shared the first post about his relationship with Kelly in 2022, they had already begun dating in September 2021.
On their first anniversary in September 2022, Kelly shared a post of her and Doug at the seaside. She captioned the post “365” and added a white heart emoji.
They went public about their relationship via Instagram after Kelly uploaded a picture of her giving the professional golfer a tight hug on his 26th birthday.
The birthday celebration was followed by a trip to Chicago, Illinois, where they visited Wrigley Field to cheer the Chicago Cubs.
At present, the couple seems to be in a healthy relationship and enjoying each other’s company.
