Yeh Wei-tze (born 20 February 1973) is a Taiwanese professional golfer.

Early life and amateur career

Yeh was born in Taipei. Representing his country as an amateur, Yeh was a member of the 1990 Eisenhower Trophy team, and then again at the 1992 tournament.

Professional career

He turned professional in 1994, played on the Asian Tour and was coached in his early career by pioneering Taiwanese golfer Lu Liang-Huan. In 2000, he won the European Tour co-sanctioned Benson & Hedges Malaysian Open, only the second Taiwanese player to win on that tour following Lu, who won the French Open in 1971. The win also helped Yeh to second place on the Davidoff Asian PGA Order of Merit that season.[1] [2] [3]

In 2003, Yeh joined the Japan Golf Tour. He has won twice on that tour, the 2003 ANA Open and the 2006 Sega Sammy Cup.[4] [5] [6]
