Ecco signs Tour winner Na Yeon Choi

The South Korean joins an illustrious list of Ecco Ambassadors, most notably Ernie Els, Graeme McDowell, Thomas Bjørn and Fred Couples.

Choi, known affectionately as ‘NYC’, wore the award-winning BIOM Hybrid model whilst striding down the fairways on her way to victory at last week’s LPGA Tour event in Florida.

Jesper Thuen, Ecco Golf Lab’s Sponsorship, PR & Event Manager says Na Yeon is ‘admired globally for her engaging personality, outstanding style and exceptional talent’. He added, ‘she’s also an icon in Korea, which is among the largest and most important markets for ECCO Golf’.

Her victory at last week’s event marked the eighth time Choi has prevailed on the LPGA Tour. Now ranked 12th on the Rolex Ranking, the 27-year old is among S.Korea’s most popular sports stars. In 2012 she won the U.S Women’s Open Championship and, in 2010, Choi’s performances led to her collecting the Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average on Tour.
