LPGA Tour, Srixon, What's in the bag…

Srixon – The World No1 amateur golfer Minjee Lee signs to play Srixon

Minjee-Lee-signs-Srixon-1December 19, 2014 – Srixon Sports has signed amateur golf sensation Minjee Lee for a multi-year contract.

The young Australian became the No1 ranked female amateur golfer in the world in February 2014, a position that was sustained until turning pro in September. Lee’s climb through the amateur ranks of the game saw her win notable titles including the 2012 U.S. Girls’ Junior and the Australian Women’s Amateur in 2013, before and successfully defending the latter title earlier this year.

Shortly after turning pro, the 18-year-old earned her 2015 US LPGA Tour card, having successfully finished as the co-medalist at the US LPGA Q-school this month.

After qualifying, Minjee Lee said: “Now that I’m officially part of the LPGA Tour I feel really good. I am relieved that I am finished and I am excited to play next year on the Tour.”

The agreement means Minjee Lee will now play Srixon golf balls, Srixon / XXIO clubs, wear a Srixon glove and headwear carrying the Srixon brand logo as well as a Srixon tour bag.
