## **Danny Lee: Setting the pace from an early age** Danny Lee is not one to start slow. He became the youngest-ever winner of the U.S. Amateur in 2008 and also claimed a playoff victory in just his second-ever LIV Golf event in 2023. By the age of 18, Lee was No.1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, had become the youngest winner on the European Tour at the 2009 Johnnie Walker Classic and had made his debut in a major, with a maiden appearance at the 2009 Masters. Lee has also collected wins on the PGA Tour and Nationwide Tour and found time to represent New Zealand at the 2016 Summer Olympics. Born Danny Jin-Myung Lee in Incheon, South Korea in July 1990, his family emigrated to Rotorua, New Zealand while he was still a youngster. Lee was awarded New Zealand citizenship in 2008 when he was 18, enabling him to represent his adopted country in the Eisenhower Trophy. After debuting at the 2023 LIV Golf season opener in Mayakoba, Lee became a LIV Golf winner in just his second tournament after a thrilling four-way playoff at LIV Golf Tucson.
