Shinhan Financial Group Sponsors LPGA Rookie of the Year 2nd Place Player Im Jin-hee

Shinhan Financial Group announced on the 16th that it has signed a main sponsorship contract with player Lim Jin-hee, who is active on the LPGA tour.

Since debuting on the professional stage in 2016, Lim spent a long period as an unknown before achieving her first victory five years later. In 2023, she earned four wins in the season and became the KLPGA top winner, well known as a late bloomer. In 2024, after passing the LPGA Q-School and entering the U.S. for the first time, she ranked second in rookie points.

Shinhan Financial, upon hearing that Lim, who successfully took her first steps on the LPGA stage, was recently facing difficulties due to the absence of a main sponsor, decided to change its previous policy of sponsoring only male players and chose to support her.

Through this contract, Shinhan Financial will sponsor Korean male and female golf players active in major overseas tours, including PGA (Kim Sung-hyun), JGTO (Song Young-han), and now LPGA.

Shinhan Financial explained that the sponsorship contract holds great significance as Lim annually donates to vulnerable groups in her hometown Jeju Island, aligning with Shinhan Financial’s philosophy of mutual growth.

A Shinhan Financial representative stated, "She is a player who has developed her skills based on strong self-discipline and a spirit of challenge," adding, "Through this sponsorship, Shinhan Financial will contribute in various ways not only as a benefactor of men's golf but also to the sustainable development of Korean golf."

Meanwhile, Lim will participate in the JM Eagle LA Championship starting on the 17th (local time), wearing a hat emblazoned with the Shinhan Financial Group logo.
