We should change the name of this thread to the Hee Jeong Lim sponsorships. On the 7th, she signed another deal, this time with FromBio, a health food company. Their logo will appear somewhere on her clothing (apparently the left lapel).

Yeah, Lee Won signed up with Team Butter, which signed Eee Ga Young in January.
She also signed up with an Audi dealership that will provide her wheels for 2023 ... Su Ji Kim (left) received the same deal.

Sponsorship video for Doosan Engineering. We see Hee Jeong Lim, Gyeol Park, Hyo Ju You and Hyun Ju Yoo, who as usual gets prime attention... Wait... hold up... There's Min Sol Kim!! WTF? Has she turned pro? (she's at 1:00). The text says she's a pro, but I'm scouring around to see if I can find an official announcement.

Hmmm... From the articles I've read, they are saying stuff like this: "Kim Min-sol, the only amateur of Doosan E&C We've Golf Club, was selected to represent the country in 2 at No. 5 in the Korean Golf Association (KGA) ranking system." It sounds like she's still an amateur? Even though the video above called her a pro, that might be a mistake on their part? Weird, whatever is going on.

Yewon could buy her own car and a house to go with it with the cash she won last year.
I'm going to ask her dad as a joke if he asks her for money. LOL

I don't think this means she's turning pro immediately. Baba-chan signed a contract with Bridgestone and still competes as an amateur. Doosan will get more worldwide publicity with Minsol Kim playing ANWA than at anywhere else, so they wouldn't risk screwing that up ... her name is still in the field. After ANWA, I don't know ... the field for Lotte Rent-a-Car isn't posted yet.

The KLPGA has a minimum age limit of 18, and Min Sol is 16 I believe, so if she does turn pro she can sit around twiddling her thumbs for two years or focus on dominating the Jump tour, which has no age limit (Dream Tour has the same limit as KLPGA). The other possibility is that this is an extreme long game move by her sponsor for a year or two from now.
Ina Yoon and Yewon Lee both ran into that age limit, which prevented them from immediately joining the Dream Tour in 2021 (Yoon especially, since her birthday is in May, while Yewon's is in mid February).
