LPGA Update: Minjee Lee’s Multi-Year Callaway Golf Deal Explored

The Callaway Golf family has just expanded! Even though the Carlsbad-based brand recently saw an end to its long-standing partnership with Phil Mickelson. The sports brand will now be the proud sponsor of the Lee siblings with the signing of the LPGA Pro. The equipment giant has made deals with many notable pros on the women’s golf side, like five-time major winner Yani Tseng, Swede Madelene Sagstrom, 1-time major champ Rose Zhang, and many others.

The golfer from Kangaroo Island, Minjee Lee, is the latest deal that will make the Australian national the 17th LPGA pro golfer to be associated with the sports brand. This will be the eighth endorsement deal for Lee in the last decade, making her career earnings move upward and ahead.

The younger sibling took up the task of breaking the news of Minjee Lee’s new partnership to the world through a post that was shared on Callaway Golf’s official Instagram handle. The younger brother welcomed his sister as he said, “Why should there be only one cook in the family?” The 25-year-old further rendered his support with three simple words: “LET HER COOK” in the comment section.

Before signing with Callaway Golf, Lee was using the Callaway Paradygm Ai Smoke Putter, their Diamond Driver, the Odyssey putter, and the Chrome ball. Now Lee will play with 14 Callaway clubs, a bag, and gloves, including the clubs already in her bag.

The agreement between the two has been reported by Golf WRX to be a multi-year staff contract. The two-time major champion was “thrilled to be joining the Callaway staff.” She expressed her excitement over the new partnership and said, “I’m excited to see how their equipment will help my performance going forward.”

Moreover, the 10-time LPGA Tour winner weighed in on her decision to join Callaway Golf after testing their new driver and Chrome ball. She said, “Now that I’ve had a chance to try their new driver and the Chrome Tour ball, I feel confident in my set-up, and I know that this is the right decision for me.” Callaway Golf replaces Srixon in Lee’s various sponsor bags.
