Ji Hee Lee is one of the top Korean players who does
not play on the LPGA. She turned pro in 1998 and has
had a lot of success since then. Among the players
she professes to admire are Americans Juli Inkster
and Fred Couples.
Ji Hee is sponsored by LG Insure, a prominent Korean
company. In 2003, she continued her winning ways and
then some, winning 4 times on the JLPGA tour,
finishing second three times, and notching 11 top
tens in all. This qualified her for the Pinx Cup,
where she joined the winning efforts of the Korean
team in beating the Japanese players for the second
year in a row.
For 2004 - 2006, Lee is remaining on the JLPGA tour,
but with her talent, the LPGA is probably in her
near future.
In 2006, Lee has once again established herself as
one of the top players on the JLPGA with several
wins. She was rewarded by being ranked as one of the
top players in the world on the Rolex World Ranking.
2007 was an off year for her in Japan; she did not
win and only finished 38th on the money list, after
being 4th on the JLPGA list in 2006.
