Golfzon, the global leader in the golf simulator industry, said Tuesday that it has clinched a sponsorship agreement with LPGA rookie Alison Lee.
Under the two-year contract, Lee will wear the indoor golf simulator company’s logo as a patch on her top during games.
The 21-year-old Californian Lee will also make international personal appearances for Golfzon, the company said in a statement. It added that it is also providing two of its simulators to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where Lee is registered as a student.
Lee is also a world amateur champion who represented the US Solheim Cup team in her first year as a pro last year.
“Partnering with Lee gives Golfzon an opportunity to provide alternative ways to enjoy the game for the fastest growing and a most important segment of the golfing population," Tommy Lim, vice president of Golfzon’s American business division, said in the statement.
“I am excited to cooperate with Golfzon, the leading global golf simulation company,” said Lee. “I will do my utmost to widely publicize Golfzon around the world through my outstanding performance.”
