I was inquiring about why Kylie Pratt was at the Lotte considering The Rocket did not play. I got a tip from an insider and then I went to lpga.com to see the player's agent list in the.... contact us..... section.
Sure enough...there's Kylie listed as Dumbo's agent.
I wonder if Kylie act as Dumbo's road manager vs. an agent sourcing endorsements. Dumbo will be a top 5 star and one would think being in the IMG umbrella or another super Korean agency would bring in some MAJOR connections for HUGE money sponsorships.
Personally if I was Dr. Won Park....I would have asked BJ to be Dumbo's agent...the guy is a marketing genius.
Another reason for Dumbo to sign onto a top rated agency is for their deep resources....especially a legal team....it's only a matter of time until Disney gets their claws into Dumbo....and she'll lose her focus and golf game embroiled in a long and drawn out litigation....Yanks love to sue.

I wouldn't be surprised that In Gee has already had the biggest sponsor deals of all KLPGA players in Korea, something in the range of $1.5-3.0 millions a year. The best thing In Gee can do right now is to play well, win tournaments, win majors, defend her USWO title. Deals from IMG or other agencies for sponsorship outside of Korea are on the table everyday. It's not a question of signing a contract, it's a question of what kind contract to sign.

IMO....I think sponsors like Hite and Ping got Dumbo on the cheap....they were her sponsors before her break out 2015 campaign. If Dumbo wins a lot including majors in the next 2 years...when her contracts expire....yes...it will cost sponsors more. Ping is known not to pay huge $'s to their pros except for the likes of Bubba The Clown and Westwood.
