(Sports Seoul | Reporter Kang Kang -hoon) ‘Nanko’s strong’ Lee So -mi (26), who wore a ‘Min -Pip Hat’ and won the American Women’s Professional Golf (LPGA) tour, visited the main sponsor. On the 31st (Korea time), the LPGA Tour Major Competition AIG Women’s Open ($ 9.5 million) will be wearing a hat with a new sponsor logo. The logo is ‘Shinhan Financial Group’.

Shinhan Financial Group announced on the 29th, “We signed a sponsorship agreement with Lee So -mi. The contract was held at Shinhan Financial Headquarters on the 24th.” Lee So -mi, who met a new sponsor, said, “We will show you a better responsibility with the warm and positive energy of Shinhan Financial Group, which decided to support.”

Lee So -mi found a new sponsor thanks to Lim Jin -hee (26). The two won the championship in the LPGA Tour Dow Championship last month. He supplemented the shortcomings of each other and showed off the ‘fantasy breath’ and enjoyed the first win of the US after an overtime. In this process, Lee So -mi was found in common that Lee So -mi was from Wando, Jeonnam, and Lim Jin -hee was from Jeju.

Lim Jin -hee began to be sponsored by Shinhan Finance in April, after the opening of the LPGA Tour. Shinhan Financial Group, which has been passionate about male golf and fostering, remains the first case of starting a female player. Shinhan Financial Group, who received the news of Lim Jin -hee’s championship, confirmed that Lee So -mi was active without a sponsor and made a quick support decision. Shinhan Financial Group evaluated “Lee So -mi is a player who is recognized for his manners, sincerity and steady performance.”

In fact, Lee So -mi, who made his debut on the 2019 Korean Women’s Professional Golf (KLPGA) tour, won five wins and became a strong man. In particular, it was called ‘Nankos strong’ because it was strong in a windy or narrow course. Last year, he entered the LPGA Tour through the Qualifying Series, and was ranked 5th in CME Globe Point, the top Korean player in four times this season. Last month, the championship laid the foundation for the LPGA Tour by 2027.

Shinhan Financial Chairman Jin Ok -dong said, “Lee So -mi has grown with thorough self -management and challenging spirit. Shinhan Financial Group supports the players who are active on the global stage with steady faithfulness.

Lee So -mi presented the Dow Championship 18th hole flag, which was kept as a commemoration of the LPGA Tour’s first win at the sponsorship contract. The flag is known to contain the signs of Lim Jin -hee and Lee So -mi. zzang@sportsseoul.com
