Min Woo Lee

Min Woo Lee is from Perth, Western Australia, the son of South Korean parents who emigrated in the early 1990s. His older sister Minjee is a major champion on the LPGA Tour, and when he won the 2016 U.S. Junior Amateur they became the first brother and sister to both win USGA junior titles. He turned professional at the start of 2019.

Lee is an aggressive, long-hitting player with a big personality and one of golf's largest social media followings. He won the 2020 Vic Open and beat Matt Fitzpatrick and Thomas Detry in a playoff for the 2021 Scottish Open, then won the Macao Open with a record 30-under score and the Australian PGA Championship in 2023.

He earned PGA Tour membership in 2023 and broke through there at the 2025 Houston Open, holding off Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland by a shot. In early 2026 he tied for second behind Collin Morikawa at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, his best finish to date in one of the tour's elevated signature events.
