Capsule Bio

Seo-Jae Lee started playing golf at age 11. She won several important amateur events in Korea before coming to the US to try her luck on the LPGA. She gained a non-exempt card on tour by finishing tied for 53rd at the 2006 LPGA Qualifying School. She turned pro immediately thereafter.

In 2007, Seo Jae played a couple of LPGA events, but primarily focused on the Futures Tour. This was a wise decision: she won back to back tournaments at one point in the season, and wound up fifth on the Futures Tour money list, which earned her an exempt card for the 2008 LPGA year.

In 2008, Lee's first exempt season on tour was unspectacular. She did earn her first top 20 finish at Corning, but otherwise struggled to make cuts and lost all playing privileges for 2009. That year, she played on the Futures Tour, where she finished 14th on the money list, just out of the top ten, which would have gotten her status on the LPGA again. Her best finish on the Futures Tour in 2009 was 2nd.

Lee did not play on the Futures Tour or KLPGA in 2010, and her current status is unknown.
