At the age of 17, she was the #1 ranked female amateur golfer in the world. Minjee Lee earned her full LPGA Tour card by finishing as co-medalist at the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament. She earned $821,121 so far during her career.

As part of the sponsorship, Minjee Lee will compete in the new women’s ECCO BIOM Hybrid 2 model and showcase the company’s logo on her collar.
