BBL - Perth Scorchers v Melbourne Renegades — Min Woo Lee signs with Lululemon

Min Woo Lee will supposedly be sporting Lululemon clothes in his first season as a PGA Tour member, as reports suggest he has signed with the leading apparel company.

Last year, Lee was sporting Amazing Creation apparel. Amazing Creation, popularly known as Amazing Cre, is a Korean clothing brand.

Lee last competed at the ISPS Handa Australian Open in December, wearing the Korean brand. However, from this year onwards, he will reportedly sport a different brand.

If the report is true, the 26-year-old Australian golfer would be the second PGA Tour player to sign with Lululemon. In 2022, they signed Chinese golfer Marty Zechang Dou as their first-ever signing on the PGA Tour. However, Lee would be the only active Tour member with the brand, as Dou lost his membership after finishing 132nd in the FedEx Cup 2022–23.

Lululemon Athletic is a Canadian-American apparel brand that has signed athletes from different sports in the past. Currently, they have a deal with the NHL's Connor Bedard, former NBAer and current collegiate golfer JR Smith, tennis star Leylah Fernandez, Alfa Romeo F1 driver Zhou Guanyu, and Jazz G Jordan Clarkson. They also have a deal with Team Canada until the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. A couple of months ago, they signed the NFL's DK Metcalf.

Lee has earned the PGA Tour card after having great results last season. He registered four top-10 finishes on the tour, including the joint-sixth finish at the Players Championship and the T5 finish at the US Open. He also won the Macau Open on the Asian Tour and the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship on the DP World Tour.
