Lee has won 11 tournaments on the LPGA Tour, including three majors. Her most recent major title was the Women’s PGA Championship last year in Frisco, Texas.
Lee began her 2026 season with top-five finishes at the HSBC Women’s World Championship and the Founders Cup before missing the cut at the Aramco Championship earlier this month.
