Chances are you're watching some golf and want to know who Collin Morikawa is married to.
Well, you've come to the right place! This is everything you need to know about Katherine Morikawa.
Born Katherine Zhu in 1996, she met her husband during her college days in 2017.
She went to Pepperdine University but crossed paths with Collin whilst he attended the University of California, Berkeley.
"We found each other by chance," Collin previously told PEOPLE magazine.
"But we chose to share our lives and dreams together." The rest, as they say, is history!
Undeniably, the biggest passion they share in common is golf.
Katherine played collegiate golf for four years and her scoring average was 76.54.
Collin has spoken of how the pair are extremely competitive on the course, but Katherine usually prevails in '70 per cent' of their chipping competitions.
He even previously claimed he didn't start winning college golf events until they started dating.
Watch Katherine's golf swing here:
"Kat has been by my side through it all," he said of Katherine.
"She would hate me if I didn't say this, but I didn't start winning in college until she showed up in my life, so thanks Kat.
"Whenever she's there, it always just gets me away from golf.
"She knows how I'm feeling after golf, like you said, she's played collegiately, she knows golf can take a toll on you, whether it's a good or bad day.
"So she's on that same swing of if we're playing well or not well, but, yeah, I'm very lucky to have her.
"Having someone at dinner makes things a lot nicer than sitting down there at the hotel by myself."
After four years as boyfriend and girlfriend, the couple tied the knot in November 2022.
Collin proposed one year prior. He popped the question in the Bahamas before playing in Tiger Woods' annual PGA Tour event.
He said he found getting down on one knee to ask Katherine to be his forever and always harder than playing elite golf.
"Golf I do everyday," he said. "It's normal. Proposing is not."
The couple wed at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles in front of approximately 100 close friends and relatives.
According to PEOPLE, a 10-piece wind and string orchestra played. They exchanged their vows in private.
Katherine later shared pictures of the big day on Instagram, writing: "A day we will remember forever."
These days, the couple reside in Las Vegas, Nevada. They currently do not have any children but have a goldendoodle called Koa.
Koa was at their wedding and they even dressed up the pooch in a tuxedo.
Katherine likes to keep her private life just that but she does share some snaps from life on the road with Collin.
She is regularly spotted watching her husband competing in PGA Tour events, major championships and Ryder Cups.
Katherine has previously served as Collin's caddie during the annual Masters Par 3 Tournament at Augusta National.
In her spare time, Katherine likes to run and completed her first half marathon in Malibu, California.
