Chieh-po Lee Facts: 10 Things To Know About The Chinese Taipei Pro
Chieh-po Lee claimed his maiden Asian Tour win in 2024 and followed that up with a LIV Golf contract – here are 10 things to know about the Chinese Taipei star


Chieh-po Lee spent several years on the Asian Tour before claiming his maiden victory on the circuit, but it was well worth the wait as he pipped one of the highest-profile players in the field. That opened the door to a potential LIV Golf card via the International Series.
Here are 10 things to know about the experienced Chinese Taipei star.
Chieh-po Lee Facts
1. Chieh-po Lee was born in Taipei City in Chinese Taipei on 1 November 1994.
2. His English name is Max and it was given to him when he was aged six.
3. His first world ranking event came at the 2012 Asia-Pacific Panasonic Open on the Asian Tour, where he missed the cut. He turned pro in 2015 and has since played on circuits including the Asian Development Tour and PGA Tour Series China.
4. In 2021, he won the Yeangder TPC in his homeland when it was part of the Taiwan PGA Tour due to Covid-19.
5. He claimed his maiden Asian Tour title in the International Series Thailand in October 2024. He did it in dramatic fashion, too, with birdies on the final two holes to beat LIV Golf’s Peter Uihlein by one. Uihlein had led since the second day, but his bogey on the 72nd hole allowed his opponent to take the title. It earned him prize money of $360,000.
