Photos: Minjee Lee through the years

In nearly a decade on the LPGA Tour, Minjee Lee has become one of the biggest stars in the game before her 30th birthday.

In 2021 at age 25, Lee broke through for her first major title, erasing a seven-shot deficit en route to winning the Evian Championship on the first playoff hole.

In 2022, Lee took home her second major, winning the U.S. Women’s Open at Pine Needles.

With top-three finishes in all five women’s majors, Lee is a force when there is a major title on the line.

In 2018, Lee became the first woman to be awarded the Greg Norman Medal. Awarded to the best Australian golfer on the world stage, Lee took home the accolade thanks in part to a seventh-place finish at the 2018 Olympics and earning more than $1 million during the LPGA season.

The Korean-Australian has shown she can win on any stage and as of late has been extremely consistent in majors. With that recipe, Minjee Lee should be a force on the LPGA Tour for years to come.
