Azahara Muñoz
Living life on her terms
Athletes remind us of the amazing things we can do when we prioritize our passions. As a professional golfer in the LPGA, Azahara Muñoz knows the focus and determination it takes to manage a challenging career. As a two-time Olympian and new mother, she also knows what it takes to live her best life. Transamerica has been a proud sponsor of Aza since 2012.
"Setting up a successful business requires many qualities — having a vision and a plan, being focused and determined and having the ability to execute day in, day out. Clearly life changes, but successful business people generally recognize and embrace change. Adapting to change and actually using change as a motivation to become even more successful is something I’m really looking forward to.”

Behind the scenes
Pro golfer Azahara Muñoz chats about how she handles the financial decisions that come with her career.
“I always knew I wanted to be a mother, but I also wanted to make sure we were financially stable and able to provide for our child. If something were to happen and I could not play anymore, I knew we had the security and [would] not have to worry about our financial situation.”
